Acerca de esta escucha
Italy, 1846:
Abused by his father and tormented by his brother Regalito, seventeen-year-old Antonio Scaglione plans to sail to America, but jeopardizes the freedom he seeks by taking Regalito's ruby necklace with a Gypsy's curse. While on the ship, he and his new friend Thomas test the curse by placing the necklace on a prisoner in the brig.
The prisoner dies.
Antonio will spend his life trying to find a way to keep the necklace from killing again.
The United States of America, 1848-1912:
Over the years, Thomas and Antonio form a close friendship. Antonio becomes a fearless firefighter who saves many lives, yet he cannot keep the ruby necklace from taking lives. In 1905, Regalito learns where Antonio lives and arrives on his doorstep, wanting his ruby necklace. To Antonio's amazement, the ruby is gone! But where?
After Antonio struggles to save himself and his little grandson from Regalito's fiery revenge, he must face the painful secret of where the ruby has gone.

East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.

Based on true events, Elizabeth Street is a multigenerational saga that opens in an Italian village in the 1900s, and crosses the ocean to New York's Lower East Side. At the heart of the novel is Giovanna, whose family is targeted by the notorious Black Hand - the precursor to the Mafia. Elizabeth Street brings to light a period in history when Italian immigrant neighborhoods lived in fear of Black Hand extortion and violence - a reality that defies the romanticized depiction of the Mafia.
