The eldest daughter Nella is ambitious and determined to make a life for herself far away from the rigors of farm and factory life. But then she meets and falls in love with a handsome carefree poet Renato Lanzara, the son of the town restaurateur. When he suddenly disappears without an explanation, rumors about a forced marriage to a girl in another town and criminal activity begin to circulate through the village grapevine. Returning after five years, and a week before Nella's wedding, Renato shakes up not only Nella's life but also the lives of Roseto's townspeople. The Queen of the Big Time is a story of one family's struggle to preserve their cultural identity and family unity and of its matriarch who cannot forget her first and true love. 650 0 $a Books on compact discs. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 650 0 $a Italian American families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Love stories. 651 0 $a Bari (Italy : Province) $x Emigration and immigration $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Italian American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Pennsylvania $v Fiction. 650 0 $a First loves $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20150217041643.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20140812061731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1A6CAE02220711E49404A1B3DAD10320 994 $a E0 $b IW5Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
