Vita: A Novel ReviewAfter reading this book in its original Italian, I purchased the English translation for my mother. Even though I haven't read the English translation, I can say that the original is one of the best books I've read... and, being a Comparative Literature major, I've read quite a few.
Like me, I'm sure you'll find yourself immersed in the story of this novel, and become part of the seemingly real narrative lives of its characters. Vita and Diamante, the novel's protagonists, are two of the countless Italian immigrant children who are sent to New York at the turn of the 20th century in search of a better life in America. Their story is one of courage, love, betrayal, of loss and dissapointemnt, but it's a story with which all immigrants will identify on some level. Each of us can identify with the break from the past in search for something better and the many losses experienced along the way.
At times Mazzucco interrupts the flow of her story by recounting her own experiences as she researched the history of her family - the subject of the novel. By doing so, she is able to create a link between her life and the life of her characters, between historical facts and the author's fictitious renditions of them and, most importantly, between past and present.
VITA is the story of an amazingly courageous woman, the story of her LIFE and of the continuous struggle that is LIFE. A great story is one which forces us to look deeper into our own lives and contemplate our past experiences, and 'Vita' does just that.Vita: A Novel Overview
