Shortly before World War II, Chi Chi Donatelli and Saverio Armandonada meet one summer on the Jersey shore and fall in love. Both are talented and ambitious, and both share the dream of becoming singers for the legendary orchestras of the time: Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman. They're soon married, and it isn't long before Chiara and Tony find that their careers are on the way up as they navigate the glamorous worlds of night clubs, radio and television. All goes well until it becomes clear that they must make a choice: Which of them will put their ambitions aside to raise a family and which will pursue a career? And how will they cope with the impact that decision has on their lives and their marriage? From the Jersey shore to Las Vegas to Hollywood, and all the dance halls in between, this multi-layered story is vivid with historical color and steeped in the popular music that serves as its score. Tony's Wife is a magnificent epic of life in a traditional Italian family undergoing seismic change in a fast paced, modern world. Filled with vivid, funny and unforgettable characters, this richly human story showcases Adriana Trigiani's gifts as a storyteller and her deep understanding of family, love and the pursuit of the American dream. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Italian American families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Married people $z New Jersey $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Singers $z New Jersey $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Big band music $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen forties $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Ballerini, Edoardo, $d 1970- $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12196124 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780062866646_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190202010521.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6C28943A0F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
