Cover art for LUCIA, LUCIA
FICTION
Released: July 8, 2003

"Silly but romantic stuff, written in a state of never-ending swoon."

FICTION
Released: May 22, 2001

"As corny as a county fair, but appealing in its way."
This follow-up to Trigiani's Big Stone Gap (2000) offers many of the same characters, much of the same town, and all of the same contrived hokiness that characterized her previous work. Read full book review >
