Tragedies

This is the best of Gianna Patriarca's trilogy. It describes with great sensitivity the effects of immigration on the Italian soul. Easy to read and easy to identify with; it could apply to any new immigrant group. As you read the poems, you feel for the immigrant but more importantly you feel for the Italian women and their plight.
