Is a movie !!!!! I'm doing a happy dance !!!

 

When we moved into our house the owners left 4 boxes of books and Adriana Trigiani's books were some of my very favorites.

 

I can't wait to see it !

I can't think of the main character's name, Lila Belle.   I read that book long ago.  Who's in the movie?

The main character is Ave Maria. She was the main character in the trilogy

Ashley Judd, Whoopi, Jasmine Guy and Jenna Elfman are the only actors I remember seeing from the trailer.

I thought the name started with an A.  Smiley Happy

 

Hopefully, the movie will be as good as the book.

I haven't seen any reviews but I plan to go to a morning showing next week.

 

I really enjoy Trigiani's books and if it isn't that great the locale her vision should still be interesting to see.

Oh my you need a houseguest, I will be right over.  I came across her two years ago at the library and while they did have several of her older works not four boxes.   I love them all and follow her on Twitter so I know when a new novel is coming out.  I think my fav. was Lucia Lucia.

Becky, loved Lucia as well. Also the Valentina's were good and seemed to be very honest in the portrayal of her own change as her relationship with her husband and marriage went on in the books.
