Award-winning author Linda Cardillo returns to Salem Street (her home once upon a time and the setting for one of her novels) to talk about writing as an Italian American woman. From the seeds of her immigrant grandparents’ love letters to the passion of the most celebrated poet of 16th-Century Italy, she has woven themes of family, food, guilt, and redemption into her critically acclaimed novels.
