Representaion To Books Der Junge, der Träume schenkte
New York, 1909. Aus einem transatlantischen Frachter steigt eine junge Frau mit ihrem Sohn Natale. Sie kommen aus dem tiefsten Süden Italiens – mit dem Traum von einem besseren Leben in Amerika.

I didn't like the first 50 pages; the characters were too much previsible and lacked complexity. The story was awful and I could not stand the things that arrived to Cetta (also made me want to shake her, want her to do something...) But hopefully, after, I was attached to the same characters and the story was far more interesting. Nice writing.A really nice book! I loved how the author takes you to a different time and place! I found myself smiling and being worried and happy with the story of the characters
Very good although at times super graphic - both in violence and sexually. Not sure if that has to do with the translation (from Italian) or my American aesthetic.
One of the most beautiful books I have read about America in the 1920s and the Immigrants that started a new life there. Not because I am privileged to represent this book for Film and Television, but it is indeed a LOVE LETTER to America. Reminiscent of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, it is a moving and riveting read.

Thank you NetGalley and Bastei Entertainment for providing me with an ARC of THE BOY WHO GRANTED DREAMS by Luca Di Fulvio.If you thought Jack & Rose from the movie TITANIC was the ultimate love story, wait until you meet Christmas (yes, that's his name) and Ruth! OMG! I am a real sucker for a good immigrant story, especially set in early 20th century New York City, and Luca Di Fulvio has written a giant epic. The Boy Who Granted Dreams is not a quick, easy read. The book is over 800 pages
A great story. So inspiring!
