Lucia, Lucia by Adriana Trigiani
I enjoyed this novel despite the fact that I had a hard time relating to the main character. Lucia is a career girl growing up in New York post WW2. She works in the custom fashion department of an upscale department store and she loves beautiful clothes. The author spends lots of words describing - in detail - various character's outfits, which I found a little tedious. She loves being a career girl and isn't willing to give it up for her traditional Italian fiancé. She later falls in love with an uptown man and finds herself in the middle of a "sizzling scandal" (as the book cover puts it.) I would recommend this book.

Do you recommend this book because it shows this girl getting her comeuppance? I don't have time to waste on detailed descriptions of someone's clothing, though I like a nice outfit as well as anyone. Or do you recommend this book because it illustrates human nature: the ability to get ourselves cornered for lack of a sense of true direction?
