I feel like I know you…. Like a “paesana”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m reading your book and thoroughly enjoying it. Nearly finished it actually. I feel like I know you…. Like a “paesana”.

My girls are now women with their own families are very proud of their Italian heritage (not too much when they...

Whilst this is a well-trodden subject, the author brings humour and sincerity to the picture. Most surprisingly though, is the struggle also faced as a woman in the contemporary Australian workforce, who expected equality, but found blatant discrimination as both a woman and an ethnic. The memoir reveals the insidious attitudes...

Great Book - Very Inspiring

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved the messages within this book, the soul sister connection and the strong ties to family. I felt a connection to the cultural expectations placed on the author due to her heritage and the struggles that came with being an Australian - Italian woman.
