Hello Beautiful

A lovely family drama that spans decades, this story of 4 sisters in a closely-knit Italian family living in Chicago caught me up with its wise observations, its interwoven plot, and the characters - well, what is there to say but each one was unique and true to themselves and as different and as alike as sisters can be. They each picked a different path in life while still clinging to whatever intimacy they could find in a challenging world. The “once in a lifetime” romance between two of the characters pierced my heart - so wonderfully nuanced and unexpected. And Napolitano managed to make a story unfolding across 20+ years seem like an afternoon.
