520    "Set in the lush Big Band era of the 1940s and World War 
       II, this spellbinding saga from beloved New York Times 
       bestselling author Adriana Trigiani tells the story of two
       talented working class kids who marry and become a 
       successful singing act, until time, temptation, and the 
       responsibilities of home and family derail their dreams. 
       Shortly before World War II, Chi Chi Donatelli and Saverio
       Armandonada meet one summer on the Jersey shore and fall 
       in love. Both are talented and ambitious, and both share 
       the dream of becoming singers for the legendary orchestras
       of the time: Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman. 
       They're soon married, and it isn't long before Chiara and 
       Tony find that their careers are on the way up as they 
       navigate the glamorous worlds of night clubs, radio, and 
       television. All goes well until it becomes clear that they
       must make a choice: Which of them will put their ambitions
       aside to raise a family and which will pursue a career? 
       And how will they cope with the impact that decision has 
       on their lives and their marriage? From the Jersey shore 
       to Las Vegas to Hollywood, and all the dance halls in 
       between, this multi-layered story is vivid with historical
       color and steeped in the popular music that serves as its 
       score. Tony's Wife is a magnificent epic of life in a 
       traditional Italian family undergoing seismic change in a 
       fast paced, modern world. Filled with vivid, funny, and 
       unforgettable characters, this richly human story 
       showcases Adriana Trigiani's gifts as a storyteller and 
       her deep understanding of family, love, and the pursuit of
       the American dream." -- Amazon.
