The beloved New York Times bestselling author of The Shoemaker’s Wife, Adriana Trigiani has written a new epic novel of love, loyalty, and creativity. It is the story of an Italian- American family on the cusp of change. Told against the backdrop of some of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies, Kiss Carlo brims with romance as long buried secrets are revealed, mistaken identities are unmasked, scores are settled, broken hearts are mended, and true love reigns. Trigiani’s consummate storytelling skill and her trademark wit along with a dazzling cast of characters will enthrall readers. Set in the 1940s, in metro Philadelphia and rural Italy, Trigiani has once again returned to her own family garden to create an unforgettable feast.
