Every Sunday is a delightful read, brimming with down-to-earth lessons that reinforce the value of family, friendships and faith. The story focuses on the youngest member of the Cantini family, Johnny, as he faces the future after the death of his father, Nick. The story is narrated by Nick himself, who watches the action from "the other side" and sprinkles his narrative with witty observations and humorous asides. When he was alive, Nick was the kind of guy you'd go to whenever you

Not a really bad book: just a thuddingly mediocre one. Every Sunday is narrated by the recently deceased (no, really) all-too-folksy-and-colorful patriarch of an Italiam-American clan, who bicker but are always brought together by Mama's ziti and gravy. His dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks son seeks out dead dad's mistress, who turns out to be a literature professor just the son's age! And really nice and hot! And they have a torrid affair, but they both worry about Mama finding out that he's in love with

Every Sunday is narrated by the recently deceased all-too-folksy-and-colorful patriarch of an Italiam-American clan, who bicker but are always brought together by Mama's ziti and gravy. (I liked this line in someone else's review.) A fun little story with a very disappointing ending in terms that there is no satisfying ending. It is like the author got tired, ran out of ideas or just quit. Talk about leaving the reader at loose ends. The mistaken identity is really what makes the whole story eve

This is the story of an Italian family that owns a hardware store. It is the what happens when the father/husband of the fmaily dies and his son has to take over the hardware store. The end of the book was good, but it took awhile getting there.

This was a nice book, a good read for bedtime reading. Family love, romance, emotional conflict. Ended without telling the reader what eventually happened, leaving it up to the imagination. Interesting perspective - the story being told by the husband/father, who had passed away and was keeping watch over his family. Well done.

I overall liked this book an easy summer read. I wished it would have ended different (I would've given it 4 stars then) but when you read it you will understand the ending I can't spoil it for you!

I received this book as a gift and really enjoyed it. It is a nice, sweet story of a family dealing with the loss of the father and how members of the family step into different roles. It also has a bit of a twist that deals with love intrigue and mistaken identity.

Johnny Cattini's father had an unusual dying request.... that forever changed his son's life. Food, family, conflict, love, Peter Pezzeli's books are light, but leave me with a good feeling. I enjoyed the final twist in this one.

I did not enjoy this book as much as the other two books I have read by Peter Pezzelli. I did not care for a story regarding a philandering father. I just did not find any characters in this book that were likeable.

An enjoyable story with an odd twist. My biggest complaint is that there really wasn't an ending. I would like to know what happened to the characters. Still, it was a good read that kept me interested.
