Sobre IBD

In her engrossing 'Visits', Helen Barolini--the author of the classic 'Umbertina' and editor of the equally classic 'Dream Book'--once again explores the complexities of an Italian heritage and an Italian-American futurity. Tracing her protagonist’s emotional, spiritual and aesthetic encounters with parents, siblings, husband, lovers, daughters, grandchildren, and friends, she narrates an arduous journey toward self-achievement while also bringing three generations of a fascinating family to life. The many lovers of 'Umbertina' and Barolini’s other works will be enthralled by this riveting novel.-Sandra (Mortola) Gilbert
