Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is a novel of Italian-American life written by FRED MISURELLA---the book is an unstated First Edition and a softcover copy. This book is in SUPERB condition and the book has a tiny ding on the upper right tip of p. 21 and just slight shelfwear and light evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled Only Sons and it was written by FRED MISURELLA; it was published by Bordighera Press in 2012 and is an unstated 1st Edition copy.ONLY SONS begins at an Italian-American wedding in the 1960s and reaches into the new millennium through the story of two families, the Salvaggis and Maresciallos, living near each other in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. Sonny Salvaggi, child of a strong, unwed mother, moves from careful, prudent marriage to philandering in his forties, to being a Quixotic, aesthetic older man hopelessly in love with Margo, a woman less than half his age whose intelligence, strength, and beauty move him in surprising, poetic ways. Jack Maresciallo, Margo's lover and father to her son, Marcello, is a talented, but unlucky artist who, after a bad period of drink and drugs in Paris and New York, straightens out and works for Sonny as director of a health and fitness club. Finally, Marcello, after a difficult youth, grows up a scholar of Italian-Americana who seeks to record and understand the story of the two families—a story that includes the immigration of Carmine, founder of the Maresciallos, enmity between Sonny and Anthony (Carmine's son, Jack's father), and a snow storm and explosion that levels a mountain and a quarry, the source of the two families' success.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
