A city of love, food, music and passion - this is a novel for anyone who fell in love with LA DOLCE VITA. Rome in the 1950s, there's nowhere quite like it. The narrow stone streets, the fountains and piazzas full of life in the heat of the day, the cafes and bars full of music and desire by night... This is where Serafina calls home. Having grown up with her sisters in a tiny apartment tucked in the top of a tumbledown building, she has watched her mother get by on next to nothing, and turn herself beautiful with a sweep of eyeliner and a hand-sewn dress. When her mother goes out, Serafina and her sisters go singing in the nearest piazza, busking for spare change and cinema tickets. The girls long to meet their matinee idols and Serafina daydreams of Mario Lanza and his spellbinding voice. But the sisters will grow up quickly and for Serafina, a choice opens between the world she knows and the life she dreams of. Readers are loving Nicky Pellegrino!

A very good writer that takes you back to a time when life was at a slower place. The story is set in Rome in the late nineteen fifties lets enter the Lanza home with all of its problems like all families this is where the book takes of.Mario Lanza at this time was a Major film star with the greatest voice of the 20th century,but with so many commitments not only to his fans but also the studio he paid the greatest price, his life.Like any great talent the book follows his path to self destruction not only Lanza but his family. This is a book that is hard to put down,
