Three generations of women in one family, the first an Itali
By A customer
Rendered in a convincing realism, Helen Barolini 's novel depicts a search for definition as woman and American through three generations, starting with the eponymous Umbertina. One may justifiably assume that the author has lived her subject--so sensitively does she enter and depict it. I would emphatically recommend this book to any American of Italian descent who wishes to understand the experience of his or her forebears and the need of successive generations to come to terms with the past. But that is not to limit its audience. At base, this is an American book, well worth the attention of those willing to feel the struggle, victory, and loss involved in the acquisition of an AMerican identity.

Umbertina exposes the heart of Italian American women
By A customer
I found the book to be an accurate and stirring portrayal of what it is like to be an Italian -American woman. In the second generation I still recognize the attitudes, feelings and traditions of my ancestors in this book as well as the struggle to affirm our talents as women. I highly recommend it.

Not worth the time-too much like a romance novel
By A customer
While the first chapter was very interesting as it took the woman for whom the book was named from her birthplace in Italy to her new home in America, the second and third chapters became essentially a romance novel. I am a third generation Italian-American and I did not feel moved by that aspect of the story like some of the other reviewers. The first chapter did not make the book. Not worth the time and effort.
