Jeanette and Sonny grew up in the streets of a tight-knit Sicilian community in the heart of Brooklyn during the 1940s. Only one year apart, as children, they were inseparable. By the time they were teenagers, their puppy love had fully matured. Kissing under the stars on rooftops, they declared their undying love and devotion, but their families objected to their union. Forced to separate, they found new love interests. After years apart, Jeanette decides to leave Brooklyn for good. Before she departs for Sicily, Sonny confesses he still loves her-will she fall back into his arms? From a historical perspective, there is a great deal of captivating information. Life for immigrants in Brooklyn during the 1930s and 1940s is depicted. From the fish markets and bakeries to working in Manhattan to day trips to Coney Island to the Catholic Church, an authentic picture is portrayed. Author Janet Sierzant has skillfully crafted a lovely historical account in Brooklyn Love Story. The cultural conflict is powerfully depicted, and it is interesting for readers who enjoy stories with strong cultural commentaries and elaborately developed characters. A gorgeous treat for fans of historical romance with strong female characters. Ronald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
