Pregnant at fifteen after gleefully losing her virginity to pansexual neighborhood strongman Francis Anthony Mozzarelli, she is robbed of her baby by a pack of nefarious nuns and her embittered papa has her sterilized without her consent (legal in 1935). With the help of a besotted Francis and her top-secret meatball recipe, a devastated Bella embarks on a riotous quest through Depression-era Coney Island sideshows, the tawdry world of peek-a-boo striptease routines, a queer mob marriage, and a tasty collection of wisdom-filled recipes to find her lost child, herself, and maybe even true love. It all leads Bella back home, to the scene of her Original Sin, where she boldly faces matters of life and death, questions of forgiveness, and a holy mess only the healing properties of great Italian cooking can fix"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Donato, Belladonna Marie $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Stripteasers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Depressions $y 1929 $z New York (State) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Steeplechase Park (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Stripteaseuses $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 651 6 $a Coney Island (New York, N.Y.) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Crises économiques $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $y 1929 $0 (CaQQLa)201-0068249 $z New York (Ãtat) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0460835 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 655 7 $a Queer fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240703011400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2CABFDE390111EF921F5BD751ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
