In her new book, Don't Sing at the Table, Trigiani shares a treasure trove of insight and guidance from her two grandmothers: time-tested, common sense advice on the most important aspects of a woman’s life, from childhood to the golden years. Seamlessly blending anecdote with life lesson, Don’t Sing at the Table tells the two vibrant women’s real-life stories—how they fell in love, nurtured their marriages, balanced raising children with being savvy businesswomen, and reinvented themselves with each new decade.
And in Brava, Valentine, now out in paperback, Trigiani continues the story of Valentine Roncalli. Suddenly forced to share the leadership of the Angelini Shoe Company with her brother Alfred, Valentine finds herself at a crossroads in her love life and her work life. A once-in-a-lifetime trip to Buenos Aires leads her to unearth long-buried family secrets and she finds herself torn between a past love that nurtured her and a new one that promises to sustain her in this "dazzling" (USA Today) follow-up to Very Valentine.
