A review of "You'll never have me like you want me"


Anthony Valerio is an important and long-time established writer in Italian-American literature. His books include:

The Mediterranean Runs Through Brooklyn; Valentino & the Great Italians; Conversation with Johnny; BART, a Life of A. Bartlett Giamatti; Anita Garibaldi, a Biography; Toni Cade Bambara's One Sicilian Night, a Memoir; The Little Sailor, a Romantic Thriller; John Dante's Inferno, a Playboy's Life; Dante in Love.

He had this to say about my novel You’ll never have me like you want me:
Learned about 15 yrs ago when asked by a major newspaper to write a book
review that I cannot do it. So here I am recommending a new novel. I’d
thought that Household Saints by Francine Prose was at a zenith. This
novel, for me, ranks as high. Ms. Prose had Madame Butterfly. Ms. Romano
has the Virgin Mary. I can say of her novel published this year that it’s as
close to me as a work of mine that I could never write. It is by a writer
I used to know who at least in this work goes places I have not. It takes
me by the hand. I bought my copy of You’ll never have me like you want me
by Rose Romano on Amazon.
 
Thanks, Anthony!

  1. Glad to see you are posting again, even if the text is so small I have problems reading it.

  2. Sorry for the late reply - I'm no longer on Createspace - to many fools. Anyway one big fool gave my book a great review saying But This Book, and then when I didn't reciprocate he changed that line (only) in the review to Don't buy this book. Sorry about this but he is American and has a Trump Temper.
    So here's where I am now ...
