Other people would underestimate Stella Fortuna during her long life, and not one of them didn't end up regretting it ... By turns a family saga, a ghost story, and a coming-of cranky-old-age tale, Juliet Grames's stunning novel lays bare the costs of migration and patriarchal values, but also the love and devotion that can sustain a family through generations. Set in southern Italy and Connecticut and spanning almost the entire 20th century.
