About The Book
'Tony's Wife does not disappoint . . . Adriana's books are full of humour, warmth and passion' SANTA MONTEFIORE
The brand new novel from the bestselling author of The Shoemaker's Wife, a Richard and Judy Book Club pick
When Chi Chi Donatelli and Saverio Armandonada meet by chance on the Jersey shore, the two form a duo that takes the music industry by storm. Together they navigate the glamorous world of show business, from Hollywood and Las Vegas to New York City and beyond, but after a dream wedding they quickly realise that one of them will soon have to make a choice: who will put their professional ambition aside to build a family, and who will remain in the spotlight?
As they juggle the demands of their public lives, secrets will be revealed, promises will be broken and loyalty will be tested . . .
The newest romantic novel from Adriana Trigiani, beloved author of Big Stone Gap and The Shoemaker’s Wife. Featuring feisty women, frantic families and fabulous friendships, Adriana Trigiani always warms the heart.
