See author Paul Gentile for a reading of his latest book Salvatore and Maria: Finding Paradise at Mystery Lovers Bookshop. The work follows an Italian couple as they struggle to raise a family and retain their cultural identity as immigrant in the U.S. Set in the early 1900s, the work traces their lives from Colorado to the steel mills of Aliquippa, Pa. Inspired by Gentile’s own Italian-born father, the book is described as a “family saga and an American story of immigration and assimilation where individuality and character are not lost.”
