Big Stone Gap - Adriana Trigiani

This Was the first of Adriana Trigiani's books I read and it's because of this book that I now own all of her books!! It's the first in the series 4 books that have a continuing story. It's heartwarming, laugh out loud funny and at times quite sad. I realy love these books and have passed them on to friends and family who have enjoyed them just as much.

I read alot of books and am always giving books away to make room for new ones. Adriana's books are the one's that will always stay on my shelf!

I can also recommend 'Lucia, Lucia', another favorite.

If i wanted a cook book, i would have looked under Jamie Oliver or Nigella Lawson etc, not for a supposidly entertaining good read!! Don't buy it unless you want a recipe for cornbread or ...  Read the complete review

Whoopi Goldberg was quoted on the back as saying it was one of her favourite novels. I am not so naïve as to think everything endorsed by a ...  Read the complete review
