It is a coming-of-age story that will lead you on a roller-coaster ride through fear, vulnerability, courage, and failure.

"After Italy: A Family Memoir of Arranged Marriage" is the story of two marriages undone by a dowry and the fallout from that rift on three generations of a Southern Italian family. Enlisting Calabrian folklore, epigenetics, and psychology, Monardo writes from both sides of the ocean, charting her grandfathers’ immigration to a Pittsburgh steel town; her father’s WWII as a medical student in Naples; the family’s marriages—including her own—that were tainted by an Old World curse; and an unlikely path toward international adoption.

Anna May Wong remains one of Hollywood’s best-known Chinese American actors. Between 1919 and 1960, Anna May Wong starred in over fifty movies, sharing billing with stars such as Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Ramon Novarro, and Warner Oland. Her life, though, is the prototypical story of an immigrant’s difficult path through the prejudices of American culture. In a narrative that recalls the pathos of life in LA's Chinese neighborhoods and the glamour of Hollywood’s pleasure palaces, Graham Russell Gao Hodges recovers the life of a Hollywood legend.

Ci sono vite che per loro natura sono fatte di percorsi imprevedibili, di sconfitte dolorose a cui seguono vittorie sorprendenti, di inattese battute d’arresto e di ripartenze costanti. La forma di queste vite, costellate di colpi di scena, le rende simili a romanzi appassionanti e indimenticabili. Ed è così la vita di Anna Prouse. Cresciuta in una buona famiglia milanese, da una madre feroce e un padre gentile, ha sedici anni ed è felice solo sul campo da tennis, dove le viene pronosticato un futuro da campionessa.

Female writers have always had to find ways to overcome or challenge these beliefs. Some were cautious and discreet, some didn’t give a damn, but all lived complex, eventful, and often controversial lives.
