Book Review: A DELIGHT!!
Summary: 4 Stars
What a delight, for the reader to enter the world of Lucia Santori. Lucia is the sole daughter in a very traditional Italian-American family. Betrothed to the son of a deli owner whom she has known all of her life, Lucia's true love is her work. A custom seamstress/tailor at the revered B. Altman department store, Lucia is excellent at what she does, and enjoys it immensely. Her days are filled with dreams of furthering her career, and becoming reknowned in New York fashion circles. It soon becomes clear, however, that her fiancee and his family have other plans for her life. Their expectation is that Lucia will become a housewife, with her tailoring reduced to "taking in" sewing from neighborhood families.Shortly after calling off her engagement, Lucia meets a dashing young gentlemen by the name of John Talbot. John seems wonderful--he is rich, attentive, and takes Lucia to the finest places. The only one of the Santori family who is not equally as enamored with Mr. Talbot is Lucia's father, who warns her that he is not to be trusted. Faced with making a choice between his daughter and his dislike of the man, Lucia's father swallows his opinions and wishes his daughter well of her impending marriage. Gathering momentum, the story takes an unexpected twist when Lucia realizes that sometimes we must face the inevitable, however painful.
