Title: In the garden of Papa Santuzzu
Description: "In the Garden of Papa Santuzzu is a novel about a close knit family's immigration from Sicily to America in the early 1900s. The Santuzzus are poor Sicilian farm laborers who endure backbreaking work in the fields of a tyrannical landlord. Wanting more for their children and grandchildren than a lifetime of servitude, Papa Santuzzu and his wife, Adriana, push their seven sons and daughters, one by one, to immigrate to America, a land of promise and opportunity."--BOOK JACKET.

"In each chapter of Tony Ardizzone's loving tribute to Sicilian American culture, the Santuzzu siblings tell us about the family and friends they have left behind in Sicily, the trials of their passage to New York, Chicago, and elsewhere, and the uncertain yet ultimately satisfying lives they build in their adopted home."--BOOK JACKET.
