LUCIA, LUCIA by Adriana Trigiana

FIC
TRIGIANI
Lucia Sartori is an elderly woman living in an old apartment building in New York City. One day she decides to tell her young neighbor, Kit, the story of her life. In the early 50's Lucia was a beautiful 25-year old whose father was a successful grocer in Greenwich Village. Lucia was a seamstress working at B. Altman's; she was engaged, happy, content. Soon, however she perceived inevitable conflicts between marriage and career and hesitated to proceed with the wedding. Her situation was further complicated when she met handsome and charming John Talbot. It appeared that Talbot would give her a life of uptown luxury, something she could never hope to achieve as a career girl. There was something mysterious about John, though, and all was not as it seemed. It seemed everything in Lucia's personal and professional was shifting when a crisis occurred that jeopardized both her career and her family.
