Product DescriptionWritten by an award winning novelist, these stories present a rich and candid account of growing up and growing old in Sicily and America. The twentythree stories are separate, but also linked. Original Sin, the opening story set in Sicily in 1900, pushes a fatherson conflict to its tragic conclusion. Its protagonist, Peter Marino, emigrates to America, where his descendants experience the conflicts, hopes, and needs that add up to the human condition.From BooklistThe strong first story in this collection, which introduces the father of the Marino family, takes place in 1850s Sicily and sets up high expectations. After that powerful opener, however, the collection slows down enough to require a persistent reader. The writing style and characterization are rough, with short sentences emphasizing the settings and times and the tough, unsympathetic Marinos. Switching settings from Sicily to Brooklyn and Queens and then to a town on the Hudson, most of the stories feature the Marinos, though a few put forward characters whose relationships to the Marinos never become clear. Possibly because some stories were written specifically for this cycle, endings are often anticlimactic and unresolved. The picture of Queens and Brooklyn in the 1950s and 1960s is particularly convincing and speaks to a nostalgic longing for supposedly more innocent times, when men were men, and women and children knew their places. Lost Hearts will appeal to readers of immigrant fiction and fans of fiction evoking historic New York.
