Review: Play It Again, Sal
Rating: 5 out of 5

I picked this up after reading Giacoletto's book, Chicago's Headmistress, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and came to one conclusion - this woman can write. The author places you so firmly into the story, you can smell the baked goods, feel every pothole the car goes over, hear the fish flapping in the bottom of the boat. Then she brings characters like Rose and Sal into frame. You'd swear these people had just stepped out of a movie screen, or in off the street. Sal bitches and moans about everything poor Rose does. He's small-minded and selfish, and the dialogue is so well done, you can practically hear the whine in his voice. This story had me smiling throughout. Would I read more of Loretta Giacoletto's work? Hell, yes! Highly recommended.
