The Shoemaker's Wife

mix a Sgroppino: 1/2 c prosecco, 1 T vodka, 1/4 c chilled lemon sorbet, and chopped mint - slip on a pair of Blahniks and enjoy this slow but ultimately old-fashioned story.
Though I found the characters to be a bit "too good" for reality, I did enjoy the author's great detail and struggle of two italian immigrants. With seemingly impossible coincidences that keep bringing the two main characters together and I did wish the story would move along faster, it made me reveal in the details of early New York. A worthy read.
