Acerca de esta escucha
"No one ever reads just one of Trigiani’s wonderfully quirky tales. Once you pick up the first, you are hooked.” (BookPage)
New York Times best-selling author Adriana Trigiani shares a treasure trove of insight and guidance from her two grandmothers: time-tested, common sense advice on the most important aspects of a woman’s life, from childhood to the golden years. Seamlessly blending anecdote with life lesson, Don’t Sing at the Table tells the two vibrant women’s real-life stories - how they fell in love, nurtured their marriages, balanced raising children with being savvy businesswomen, and reinvented themselves with each new decade.
For fans of Big Stone Gap, Very Valentine, Lucia, Lucia, and Rococo, this loving memoir is the Trigiani family recipe for chicken soup for the soul.

Still teenagers, they are separated when Ciro is banished from his village and sent to hide in New York's Little Italy, apprenticed to a shoemaker, leaving a bereft Enza behind. But when her own family faces disaster, she, too, is forced to emigrate to America.

Viola doesn't want to go to boarding school, but somehow she ends up at an all-girls school in South Bend, Indiana, far, far away from her home in Brooklyn, New York. Now Viola is stuck for a whole year in the sherbet-colored sweater capital of the world. Ick. There's no way Viola's going to survive the year - especially since she has to replace her best friend Andrew with three new roommates who, disturbingly, actually seem to like it there. She resorts to viewing the world (and hiding) behind the lens of her video camera.

In this spectacular saga as radiant, thrilling, and beguiling as Hollywood itself, Adriana Trigiani takes us back to Tinsel Town's golden age - an era as brutal as it was resplendent - and into the complex and glamorous world of a young actress hungry for fame and success. With meticulous, beautiful detail, Trigiani paints a rich, historical landscape of 1930s Los Angeles, where European and American artisans flocked to pursue the ultimate dream: to tell stories on the silver screen.

Fabulous!!!!
Every time I read / listen to another of Adriana’s books, I think to myself “ THIS is the BEST ONE”!!! Each is better than the last! Here’s why I feel THIS one was the best…. It was so personal , so in-depth about her family , & full of intimate life lessons she received from her Grandmothers. I love her writings, I love her voice , her truths , her realness ; everything about her. I was moved to laughter & tears throughout. What a tribute to these women! Bravo Adri!💕

Moving Personal Recollections About Author’s Grandmothers
I loved hearing the life lessons that the author learned from Viola and Lucy. All good reminders for all of us today regardless where we are in life’s journey. Sometimes the story got a bit bogged down in the details - although I’m sure for her these were important. For the listener (or reader) not involved in their lives or culture it could be less important.

Nice but Preachy
I love to hear Adriana Trigiani narrate her own books since she can insert her sarcasm and wit. This, however, was a different type of story altogether. Nice messages, memories and sentiments, but seemed too preachy. It could have been a fun short story but not enough for a novel.
