Book Description
Now a limited Netflix series starring Zoe Saldana! This Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller is “a captivating story of love lost and found” (Kirkus Reviews) set in the lush Sicilian countryside, where one woman discovers the healing powers of food, family, and unexpected grace in her darkest hours. It was love at first sight when actress Tembi met professional chef, Saro, on a street in Florence. There was just one problem: Saro’s traditional Sicilian family did not approve of his marrying a black American woman. However, the couple, heartbroken but undeterred, forged on. They built a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep friendships, and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopted at birth. Eventually, they reconciled with Saro’s family just as he faced a formidable cancer that would consume all their dreams. From Scratch chronicles three summers Tembi spends in Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro’s family, now she finds solace and nourishment—literally and spiritually—at her mother-in-law’s table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple fresh food, the embrace of a close knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that light a path forward. All along the way she reflects on her and Saro’s romance—an incredible love story that leaps off the pages. In Sicily, it is said that every story begins with a marriage or a death—in Tembi Locke’s case, it is both. “Locke’s raw and heartfelt memoir will uplift readers suffering from the loss of their own loved ones” (Publishers Weekly), but her story is also about love, finding a home, and chasing flavor as an act of remembrance. From Scratch is for anyone who has dared to reach for big love, fought for what mattered most, and those who needed a powerful reminder that life is...delicious.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Contemporary Drama of Italy The Contemporary Drama of Italy has hitherto been known to the English-speaking public through the work of comparatively few dramatists. This history hopes to show these writers in their chronological and literary background and to introduce other dramatists who deserve to be known. If it succeeds in planting or stimulating interest in the Italian Drama, if it gives an impulse, however slight, to that movement for mutual understanding which is gaining headway in Italy and America, then it shall have more than fulfilled its function. An apology, is necessary for the uncertainties in the dating of premieres and first printing of plays. There is no single source for such data and authorities differ so that confusion prevails. For completeness and certainty a prolonged investigation on the ground would be necessary, a search through journals and records not accessible on this side of the Atlantic. This would be a labor of years and really lies outside the field of the present study. Wherever possible the dates have been verified, but unfortunately the material in American libraries is far from complete. The author must bear the blame, however, for any flagrant mistakes.
