I've read every book written by Adriana Trigiani and this one did not disappoint. Trigiani is a masterful story teller and the story of those in this book is carefully crafted, with a tight plot. Switching between generations, the story of The Good Left Undone will delight and inspire.

I loved this book, and I am a huge Adriana Trigiani fan. I have read and enjoyed all her books and recommended them to my friends. She creates wonderful characters and stories that are derived from her rich family history. Adriana is a master of creating stories about families and the ties that bind them. As you read, you find yourself caring about the characters and their outcome because of her beautiful way with words. She always makes the places and time in history come alive because of the details she includes. Adriana has been kind enough to speak (on-line) to 2 of my bookclubs over the past years and she is a warm, outgoing and an incredibly entertaining speaker. I appreciate her support for librarians, bookclubs and readers.. She is a true joy - just like her books!

I have never read anything by this author although I know that she is extremely popular with readers. This novel does not disappoint. A mutigenerational novels expanding through Italy, France and Scotland before and after World War II and up to the present.. I did not know the history of Italians in Scotland during that time period and how they were treated. How upsetting! The story is wonderful, however I did have trouble remembering all the Italian names. I will go back and read author's previous novels,
