The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna

Other people would underestimate Stella Fortuna during her long life, and not one of them didn't end up regretting it ... By turns a family saga, a ghost story, and a coming-of cranky-old-age tale, Juliet Grames's stunning novel lays bare the costs of migration and patriarchal values, but also the love and devotion that can sustain a family through generations. Set in southern Italy and Connecticut and spanning almost the entire 20th century.
