- Synopsis
- A funny, touching, and bitter memoir about myths and misconceptions of being Italian American. Within a thirty-year span in the early 19th century, the Delia Femina family nearly empties their Italian village near Naples and migrates to Brooklyn's Gravesend neighborhood in the United States. The Italian's inability to let anyone leave the family meant the family moved intact to the United States as they kept their village habits and customs.
