Jeanette and Sonny grew up in the streets of a tight-knit Sicilian community in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Only one year apart, as children, they were inseparable. By the time they are teenagers, their puppy love had fully matured. Kissing under the stars on rooftops, they declared their undying love and devotion, but their families objected to their union. Forced to separate, they eventually found new love interests. Jeanette is leaving the country to be with another man, but her life is about to take a turn….

From a historical perspective, there is a great deal of captivating information. Life for immigrants in Brooklyn during the 1930s and 1940s is depicted. From the fish markets and bakeries to working in Manhattan to day trips to Coney Island to the Catholic Church, an authentic picture is portrayed.

Author Janet Sierzant has skillfully crafted a lovely historical account in Brooklyn Love Story. The cultural conflict is powerfully depicted, and it is interesting for readers who enjoy stories with strong cultural commentaries and elaborately developed characters.

A gorgeous treat for fans of historical romance with strong female characters.
