A young Italian American woman struggles to find her way between two cultures in this novel of familial dignity . . . credibility and intelligence (Kirkus Reviews).On a stroll in his Queens neighborhood, Sicilianborn Nino Giardello glimpses his daughter, ambitious nineteenyearold Gina, heading for the subway. Silently, he follows her to Manhattan and watches, outraged, as she walks into the arms of a goldenhaired stranger. The incident confirms Ninos worst suspicions about his daughter, whose American lifestyle he sees as an insult to his heritage.In a struggle that exceeds all boundaries, including death, father and daughter will engage in a conflict of generations, cultures, and sexes. Josephine Gattuso Hendin captures New York Italian immigrant life with startling precision, exploring the intricate web of a communitys everyday transactions and the multifaceted fatherdaughter relationship at the heart of the Italian American family.A comingofage novel that is both wryly funny and achingly sad, The Right Thing to Do effectively portrays both New Yorks Italian immigrant milieu and one mans rage at his own powerlessness in the face of his childs hunger for life (Booklist).
