A new novel by Adriana Trigiani is “Tony’s Wife.” Before World War II, Chiara Donatelli and Saverio Armandonada meet and fall in love. Both share the dream of becoming singers for the legendary orchestras of the time. They marry and their careers go well. Then it becomes clear that they must make a choice: which of them will put ambition aside to raise a family and which will pursue a career? And how do they cope with the impact that decision has on their lives and their marriage? This book is available in large print and on CD as well as digitally.
