Lucia, Lucia by A. Trigiani, July 2012
From goodreads.com: It is 1950 in glittering, vibrant New York City. Lucia Sartori is the beautiful twenty-five-year-old daughter of a prosperous Italian grocer in Greenwich Village. The postwar boom is ripe with opportunities for talented girls with ambition, and Lucia becomes an apprentice to an up-and-coming designer at chic B. Altman's department store on Fifth Avenue. Engaged to her childhood sweetheart, the steadfast Dante DeMartino, Lucia is torn when she meets a handsome stranger who promises a life of uptown luxury that career girls like her only read about in the society pages. Forced to choose between duty to her family and her own dreams, Lucia finds herself in the midst of a sizzling scandal in which secrets are revealed, her beloved career is jeopardized, and the Sartoris' honor is tested.

We'll meet at the Library to discuss Lucia, Lucia on Thursday, July 26, 2012 at 7pm.
Sorry to have missed everyone for this book but the heat & nasty weather threat kept me home :o) I didn't enjoy this novel as much as Adriana's Big Stone Gap, which was our first book of 2012 here. Perhaps I've read too many novels in this last year with similar themes.
