’Impossible to put down… Pieri is a natural-born storyteller.’ Richard Demarco in Scotland on Sunday, ’Favourite Reads of 2005’
Teased for being a ’dirty Tally’ at school, working in a Glasgow fish and chip shop, being held in internment camps during World War II along with every male of Italian birth in Scotland, Joe Pieri’s own story encapsulates what it was like for many generations of Italians who emigrated to Scotland in search of a fresh start. Also available as a special hardbound gift edition.
Joe Pieri arrived in Glasgow from Italy in 1919 and has lived there ever since, apart from his years of internment in Canada during the War. He is the author of several books, including Wheel of Fortune, River of Memory and The Octopus: The Story of the Sicilian Mafia, also published by Mercat Press
