Jacqueline DeJohn reads from Antonio’s Wife

DeJohn’s debut novel traces opera diva Francesca Frascatti’s search for her daughter Maria Grazia in 1908 New York. In her book, corrupt Tammany Hall police offers, Black Hand spies, and greedy hooligans intermingle with the real-life figures Joe Petrosino Enrico Caruso, and Jack Johnson.

“A rich, satisfying story. The beautiful, complicated opera diva Francesca Frascatti is a colorful and dramatic as the stage world she inhabits. You will be cheering ‘Brava!’ as the final curtain falls.”

— Adriana Trigiani
