American Music by Patricia Falanga Pdf

A letter from America, crafted by a pair of beloved aunts, is sent overseas to relatives in Avellino, Italy. Addressed to the parents of three teenage girls, it implores them to send their daughters to the maiden aunts, for it is only in America where opportunity knocks on every door. The girls leave for America filled with dreams, but their dreams shatter after a startling realization. Can they escape misery and poverty and ultimately find joy? Find out as the three sisters carve out their destinies in American Music. The story opens in 1906 as three teenage sisters are greeted by a pair of beloved aunts on a New York City pier. The sisters soon discover their aunts' deceitful reasons for calling them to America. The eldest sister rebels and attempts an escape late one night. On the fire escape, she encounters a beautiful man, a neighbor from the tenement apartment, one flight above. After she reveals the facts of her troubled experience, she accepts his proposal of marriage. The Angenetti family settles and takes root in the slums on the Lower East Side. The head of the household takes number bets for a living, and admits to being a small fish in the syndicate's big pond. As the illicit business grows, so does the family - along with chaos and crime. Chaos increases within the household as gamblers traipse in and out the kitchen to place bets. The family keeps on the move, one step ahead of the cops. The first-born son plays with matches under the third-born infant's crib; the child is left with a claw-like hand. The family's chaotic way of life is taken as matter-of-fact.

The Antiques by Kris D'Agostino Pdf

A family reunites after the death of its patriarch just as a hurricane tears through town in this “sparklingly funny novel about love, power, money, and adult siblings finding the beating heart of what matters most: one another” (People). On the night of a massive hurricane, three estranged siblings learn that their father is dying. For the first time in years, they convene at their childhood home in upstate New York, where the storm has downed power lines, flooded houses, and destroyed the family’s antique store. The Westfalls are no strangers to dysfunction. But never have their lives felt so out of control. Armie is living in their parents’ basement. In Manhattan, Josef, a sex-addicted techie, is struggling to repair his broken relationship with his daughters. Their sister, Charlie, who works in Hollywood as a publicist for a wayward young actress, just learned that her son has been expelled from preschool. Amid the storm, they come together to plan their father’s memorial service, only to learn his dying wish—they must sell his priceless Magritte painting. As their failures are laid bare, they discover that hope often lurks in the darkest of places. And so, too, can hilarity. Complete with an irresistible plot and deeply flawed, affectionately rendered characters, Kris D’Agostino’s “sharp, funny [novel] conveys the disorienting and ever-shifting effects of grief” (The New York Times) and the unexpected epiphanies that emerge in chaos. This “darkly humorous portrait of the American family under duress…balances scathing and humorous commentary on the foibles of family with keen insight” (Publishers Weekly). Perfect for “fans of funny family dysfunction novels like Jonathan Tropper’s This Is Where I Leave You...and Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s The Nest” (Booklist), The Antiques is a heartbreaking, nimble, laugh-out-loud funny send-up of modern family life.
