- Nineteen-year-old Rosa Belfiore leaves her Sicilian village with eleven dollars sewn into her shoe and a promise to save her family's failing land. Aboard the ship crossing the Atlantic, she meets Enzo Romano, a bricklayer from Avellino playing an invisible mandolin at the rail - and nothing about her carefully planned future is ever the same again.
In the crowded tenements of Little Italy, Rosa and Enzo build a life stitched together from shirtwaist wages, brick dust, and stolen Sunday afternoons. But New York asks a hard price of those who come to it with empty pockets and full hearts: a padrone's commission, a Black Hand extortion letter, and - on one unforgettable afternoon in March 1911 - a factory fire that will test everything they have built.
Spanning seven decades, two world wars, and the whole astonishing arc of the Italian-American experience, A Light on Mulberry Street is a sweeping love story about the courage it takes to cross an ocean, and the greater courage it takes to build a home on the other side of it.
