5 out of 5 stars Real life as it was for who emigrated   October 8, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I'm slightly biased with the review for this book....as part of what was written could be the story of my family. My grandfather emigrated to Scotland from Italy in the 1910's and it is natural that the story struck a cord deep down. The journey begins in 1913 when one of the Crolla's - Alfonso decides to emigrate to Edinburgh with his young wife and finishes after the Second World War. It recounts of the difficulties they encountered both in peace time and duting the war, of how they conquered them to make a better life for themselves and of the beginnings of the famous delicatessen Valvona and Crolla in Edinburgh.


5 out of 5 stars A superb read   February 5, 2007

I could not put this book down. It is very well written. The historical content of Italian immigrants to Scotland is very interesting plus very moving. The "poetic license" that adds a story to fact makes for a real love story/family saga. Mary Contini's description of Italian food and style of cooking made me demand to taken out to a true Italian restaurant. The description of the food will have your mouth watering! Even the open chapter which involves the slaughtering of a pig will have you longing for real Italian sausage! I highly recommend this book - it is a good rip a long read!
