I gioielli di famiglia
Viareggio, 1920. Domenica Cabrelli è una ragazza vivace, con tanti sogni, la passione per la lettura e un grande amore, Silvio, un ragazzo dalla vita purtroppo difficile. Quando il giovane è costretto a lasciare la città, Domenica, travolta dal dispiacere, si rifugia nello studio. Nel giro di qualche anno diventa infermiera, e presto si trasferisce a Marsiglia per lavorare in ospedale. Grazie al suo carattere esuberante, nella città francese conosce un affascinante capitano scozzese, John McVicars, di cui si innamora perdutamente. Nel frattempo, in Europa scoppia la Seconda Guerra Mondiale: Domenica viene inviata prima in Scozia e poi a Liverpool, dove gli italiani vengono fatti prigionieri a causa dell’alleanza tra Mussolini e Hitler. In quegli anni così travagliati, la ragazza sperimenta l’amore, il dolore per la separazione e un immenso desiderio di tornare a casa, pur portando con sé segreti inconfessabili… Viareggio, oggi. La famiglia Cabrelli crea e vende splendidi gioielli da generazioni. Giunta al termine della sua vita, Matelda, l’anziana della famiglia, decide di condividere con la nipote Annina alcune vicende legate alla madre, Domenica. Nessuno, a parte Matelda, ne è a conoscenza. Ma perché Domenica aveva nascosto alcuni episodi della sua giovinezza? Cosa si celava dietro quel silenzio? Attraverso questo racconto Matelda, a distanza di quasi cento anni, intende consegnare alla nipote la memoria storica dei Cabrelli e i loro segreti, taciuti da tempo. Soltanto così potrà terminare i suoi giorni serena, certa che Annina potrà creare una nuova famiglia, senza dimenticare mai le proprie radici.

Una famiglia italiana
Stati Uniti, 1925. Nata in una famiglia italiana emigrata nella cittadina di Roseto, in Pennsylvania, a quattordici anni Nella Castelluca sogna di diventare insegnante e di vedere un mondo diverso da quello della fattoria in cui vive. Ambiziosa e determinata, riesce a convincere i genitori a iscriverla alla Columbus High School. Quando conosce Renato Lanzara, un ragazzo affascinante e amante dei libri, Nella s’innamora perdutamente. Tutto sembra andare per il meglio, ma una terribile notizia scuote la famiglia Castelluca: a causa di un’esplosione nella miniera in cui lavora, il padre della ragazza rimane gravemente ferito. Alla fine dell’estate, Nella lo sa, non potrà più tornare a scuola: alla fattoria hanno bisogno di lei. Oltre ad aiutare in casa, Nella inizia a lavorare in una lavanderia come stiratrice. Tra gli operai c’è un ragazzo della sua età, Franco Zollerano, che la corteggia dolcemente. Renato, il grande amore di Nella, è ormai lontano, e forse sposare Franco è la cosa giusta... Insieme potranno avere una famiglia e, se il destino lo vorrà, anche coronare il sogno di aprire una manifattura di vestiti. Perché per Nella e Franco, che hanno umili origini, una vita migliore è dietro l’angolo: l’importante è non dimenticare mai i propri valori.

The View From Lake Como

The View From Lake Como
From the beloved New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani, a “dazzling” storyteller (Washington Post), and a “comedy writer with a heart of gold” (NYT), comes a novel about one woman’s quest to build her own life before it’s too late. Jess Capodimonte Baratta is not living the life of her dreams. Not even close. In blue-collar Lake Como, New Jersey, family comes first. Recently divorced from Bobby Bilancia, “the perfect husband," Jess moves into her parents’ basement to hide and heal. Jess is the overlooked daughter, who dutifully takes care of her parents, cooks Sunday dinner, and puts herself last. Despite her role as the family handmaiden, Jess is also a talented draftswoman in the marble business run by her dapper uncle Louie, who believes she can do anything (once she invests in a better wardrobe). When the Capodimonte and Baratta families endure an unexpected loss, the shock unearths long-buried secrets that will force Jess to question her loyalty to those she trusted. Fueled by her lost dreams, Jess takes fate into her own hands and escapes to her ancestral home, Carrara, Italy. From the shadows of the majestic marble-capped mountains of Tuscany, to the glittering streets of Milan, and on the shores of enchanting Lake Como (the other one), Jess begins to carve a place in this new/old world. When she meets Angelo Strazza, a passionate artist who works in gold, she discovers her own skills are priceless. But as Jess uncovers the truth about her family history, it will change the course of her life and those she loves the most forever. In love and work, in art and soul, Jess will need every tool she has mastered to reinvent her life. Fed by the author’s cherished Italian roots comes a bighearted, hilarious novel of the moment: the story of one woman’s determination to live a creative life that matters, with enough room left over for love. With a one-way ticket to Italy, Jess is determined to write a new story on her own terms--this time, in stone.

Van Willem tot Willem
Na meer dan honderd jaar heeft Nederland weer een koning. De vraag is wat het beginnend staatshoofd Willem Alexander van zijn voorgangers zou kunnen opsteken. Na Willem van Oranje volgde een kleurrijke stoet van stadhouders, prinsen en koningen. Stadhouder Willem V bijvoorbeeld, die verdween achter steeds hogere stapels post hij kwam er maar niet toe ze te openen; of koning Willem I, die het ontwerp van de eerste grondwet grommend in het vuur wierp; en koning Willem III, die op een balkon in Genève zijn badjas opentrok om passagiers op voorbijvarende schepen zijn koninklijke geslacht te tonen; en dan was er nog prins Hendrik, die met de kleine Juliana op een groot zilveren dienblad van een stuifduin afroetsjte. In Van Willem tot Willem beschrijven Stijn Aerden en Wim Koesen de bonte geschiedenis van de Oranjes.
