Fiction. In her engrossing VISITS, Helen Barolini–the author of the classic Umbertina and editor of the equally classic Dream Book–once again explores the complexities of an Italian heritage and an Italian- American futurity. Tracing her protagonist’s emotional, spiritual and aesthetic encounters with parents, siblings, husband, lovers, daughters, grandchildren, and friends, she narrates an arduous journey toward self-achievement while also bringing three generations of a fascinating family to life. The many lovers of Umbertina and Barolini’s other works will be enthralled by this riveting novel.–Sandra (Mortola) Gilbert
