In the Garden of Papa Santuzzu Paperback - 2000
by Tony Ardizzone
An enchanting, warm, and wise novel about a close-knit family's immigration from Sicily to America in the early 1900s, "In the Garden of Papa Santuzzu" is rich and vibrant--a tale of the stories families tell each other, stores that make up a deeply personal and common history.
First line
ONCE THERE WAS a poor but honest man, un'omu d' onuri, a man of honor, who worked the whole day-day after day-in the unrelenting heat of the blazing sun, scratching the pitiful dirt at his feet with a wooden hoe, coaxing the useless dust first this way and then that way, like a mother combing her feverish child's thin, dulled hair, urging the earth to release something he and his children and wife might eat, so that they might live to work beneath the scorching sun another day, and not starve.
