Synopsis

Now a Lifetime original movie

“Sex and the City meets Moonstruck…this first in a new trilogy from Trigiani is sly, sensual and dripping in style.” —People

Poignant, funny, warm, and red hot, Very Valentine is a wonderful treat for Adriana Trigiani fans—a “delightful” (Boston Globe), “romance-soaked novel” (Marie Claire) from much adored playwright, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, and New York Times bestselling author of The Shoemaker's Wife, All the Stars in the Heavens and The Supreme Macaroni Company.

The adventures of an extraordinary and unforgettable woman as she attempts to rescue her family’s struggling shoe business and find love at the same time, Very Valentine sweeps the reader from the streets of Manhattan to the picturesque hills of Italy. Here is yet another novel from the incomparable Trigiani that will steal your heart.

Goodreads review by Cory on March 24, 2009

On the surface, it seems like I would like this book about an Italian-American woman learning the family shoemaking business and looking for love. However, it just wasn't my kind of book.

Goodreads review by Amina on March 11, 2024

Očekivala sam laganu, lepršavu ljubavnu priču da "pustim mozak na pašu", a dobila mnogo više- obiteljsku priču o spašavanju tradicionalnog obucarskog zanata u jelu komercijalizacije. Posebno su me oduševili opisi Italije o otoka Kapri.......more
