Customer Reviews

Boston's North End

Bought this book for a Italian friend who grew up in the North End of Boston. He found himself going back and reliving so much. He thoroughly enjoyed it.

lover of the north end

I have really been enjoying this book; not only what is written, but the pictures tell a story as well. I am half Italian born in Brockton, Ma. but live on the west coast now. I guess I can only hope that the North End will still remain quaint and special in spite of our everchanging world.

Amazing stories from recent history

This book is like hearing your grandparent's stories, and you wouldn't believe what they have to say! Filled with short, readable stories and descriptions of life in the North End. Highly recommended!
