I find myself drawn to Historical Fiction mostly because I love history and A Heart Most Worthy didn't disappoint. Siri Mitchell's description of 1918 Boston brought the setting to life. The characters were well developed and came to life before my very eyes and I found them to be very likable. As I came to know the girls I found that there were times I wanted to scold them, or to council them, and there were even times I wanted to let them cry on my shoulder.

This is one of the most gripping stories I have ever read. It is written in an older, omniscient style that isn't often used today but is very effective for telling this particular story of three young Italian women and the enigmatic owner of the dress shop where they work. The story is set in Boston in 1918, at the end of WWI. Each character struggles with her individual circumstances amid the prejudice of the surrounding society, and each is surprised by true love when it seems most impossible...more

Oh my goodness. I have only read one of Siri's books prior to this, but with this title I am solidified as one of her followers. Wow. This book has so many different layers and story lines running through it that I could only turn the page again and again to get to the bottom of the many mysteries. The main characters are three Italian immigrants named Julietta, Annamaria, and Luciana. Did you not just swoon when I said those names.

I could analyze this for pages and pages but I'll try and restrain myself. ;o) It starts with the cover. Isn't it drool-worthy? I'm in total envy over that dress.

The author tackles surface issues like the the problems the Italian immigrants faced both from outsiders and from their own prejudices against other Italians. Tradition and family was all many of them had. Sometimes the same stubborn pride that helped them survive in this new country insulated them and even caused them to refuse help they needed.

What makes a healthy relationship? What is most important in love? All the main characters struggle with these questions on some level or another. Whether it's 1918 or 2011, people still mistake lust for love, they still think they're unworthy for whatever reason, they still fear what will happen if they trust... and sometimes they think it's too late once they've made mistakes. Sometimes people try to manipulate people and call it love.

Then you have the political undertones. People who think violence is the way to bring about change and that the government should do whatever they want. People who don't mind stealing, killing or dying in order to make their plans come to fruition. It sounds eerily like what is going on here and around the world. Yet you meet them, sympathize and want to be able to help them see what they're doing is hurting themselves and others.

The three main characters couldn't be more different. Add in Madame Fortier and you have four women who will stay with me for some time. They loved deeply, made mistakes, kept secrets, and showed a tenacity of spirit that made me love them all. From the beginning to end you can see each of them grow and change in individual ways that reflected the personal journey each had to take.

There were also some yummy heroes that you won't want to miss. Each had his own strengths (and weaknesses) that perfectly matched the girl he was destined to be with. Some had unflappable faith and determination, some patience that would try a saint, some were self-sacrificing... and some were forgiving and generous. All were romantic because true romance is loving in a way that brings out the best in them and is concentrated on their needs instead of your own.

This is going on my list of best books of 2011. I want to thank Bethany House for providing me my copy in exchange for my honest review. (less)

A Heart Most Worthy by author Siri Mitchell is a lovely historical romance set in 1918 Boston.

The story follows three different women, all seamstresses, all Catholic and all Italian. But despite their similarities, their personalities and personal lives are very different.

Julietta is impulsive, headstrong, proud and foolish, which gets her into a lot of trouble where love is concerned. Her recklessness will cost her dearly.

On the other hand, I have yet to find a Siri Mitchell book that has been difficult to put down. In fact, I have found it difficult to get into these books.

Three very different Italian young woman work for famed dressmaker Madame Fortier in Boston at the end of World War I. Juliana Giordano revels in her beauty and wants romance in her life, and Angelo Moretti's smoldering brown eyes are filled with both romance and a hint of danger, making him much more attractive than Mauro Vitali, a doctor she's known most of her life. Annamaria Rossi is beginning to strain against the limited existence in which her position as eldest daughter has placed her. Expected to serve the entire family and never marry, she is open to the invitation she sees in the eyes of Rafaello Zanfini, the Sicilian vegetable stand owner's son, but he is forbidden, first because she must never leave the family, and second because he is Sicilian. Luciana Conti fled her estate and wealth in Rome after the assassination of her father, the Count of Rome, bringing only her grandmother, the contessa, whose mind has drifted away since the tragic night that left them homeless, poor, and hunted by the anarchist who has promised to kill them both. Luciana thought to find safety in America, but she has seen the man here again, on her very street, making every day filled with fear. Mitchell has turned from writing humorous chick lit to intelligent historical romances, but she brings the same light dexterous touch to these novels, filling them with fascinating heroines, strong heroes, and interesting conflicts. She truly brings to life each of these women and makes the reader empathize with each, even Juliana's flirtation with danger. Mitchell reminds readers of the terrible prejudice against Italians at the beginning of the twentieth century, as well as the danger of the anarchists who were creating terror through bombs and assassinations around the world. Somehow Mitchell manages to throw together the prejudice, anarchy, romance, faith, gown-making, and the Spanish Influenza together to make a compelling story readers will be hard-pressed to put down.

Before I read the book, I skipped to the back and read the "Note to the Reader," which detailed the historical background of the book, referencing the Great Italian Emigration and the Spanish Influenza. This perked my interest in the book even more so, since I did not know anything about these references before this book. The Italian aspect also interested me since I have some Italian blood in me.
One of the first thoughts that occurred to me when I began the book was how little the three girls and their separate subplots had in common. The characters do not seem to intersect at all, and all three girls are very different from one another, with the exception of the dress shop. It felt almost like three different stories that the author took turns telling. As the book progresses, that proves to be incorrect, as the different characters intersect in the most unusual ways, such as one of girl's love interest driving the delivery truck for the shop where another girl's love interest works. This aspect of the book became the most interesting for me, since Mitchell does not make a big deal of pointing out where the connections are, and I enjoyed tracking them.
The owner of the dress shop, Madame Fortier, had her own subplot as well, but I was a bit dissatisfied with how hers played out, since very little about her circumstances changed - even though it was this that made her unhappy in the first place.
All three girls were very likable for her own reasons, though each one's subplot ended somewhat differently. Luciana seemed to get the best deal of the three girls, though all were very happy by the end. Annamaria's ending was bittersweet, but it gave the reality of the Spanish Influenza more impact. I did not like Julietta overly much in the beginning, but the lessons she learned made me like her that much more by the end.
Overall, the book was at times intriguing, romantic, suspenseful, and even frustrating, but it was definitely worth the read.(less)

A Heart Most Worthy--Siri Mitchell
Historical Fiction Available for Review
I received this notice from Bethany House Publishers and I eagerly sent off for a new 2011 release from an author I have not read before, Siri Mitchell's "A Heart Most Worthy." I would like to pass the word on to others who would like to review copies: www.bethanyhouse.com/bookreviewers to get your name in to choose a book to review. I chose "A Heart Most Worthy" as it is about Italian settlements in the U.S. in the early 1900s. I have always loved historical fiction incorporating the immigrants as I am from Irish, German and Norwegian descent.

In the beginning of the book there is a list of characters which I like to be able to sort out who's who. The story starts out with the three main characters beginning their day. Siri is very descriptive and you can get inside her story with all your senses; sights, sounds and smells! Nationalities coming to America were sometimes sent for by previous arriving relatives and it was common for each dialect to live in the same area of their customs, traditions, and speech. This is 1918 Boston, and Julietta, Annamaria, and Luciana live in the North End where the day workers and laborers live. They go to work each day in the wealthy section, so it is quite a contrast from where they spend their nights and evenings. Actually, these three girls are hand-selected for their individual crafts. They spend their days on the third floor of Madame Fortier's elite gown shop, where society's upper class choose from drawings for their fine apparel for seasonal social outings. Their lives interweave but they are unaware of it, as each story is told separately, paralleled by a third-person narrator drawing them together. This was a little disconcerting to me as a reader, for the narrator to pop up inside the story. The further in I got, I was glad I continued to read bypassing this thought interruption, being griped by the story itself. The gown sewers are on the second floor and the three floors do not mingle with each other. I kept waiting for Julietta, Annamaria, and Luciana to share aspects of their lives together but they do not. A heart most worthy is very fitting, as they each explore who they are in their New World and where they fit. I especially liked the outcome for Madame Fortier, as she is very gracious and caring for these young ladies in her employ. Enjoy their individual lives as their stories unveil. Surprising how lives intertwine without our knowing it! They all have strong characters and a zest for life. I will be searching for Siri Mitchell's previous works! (less)

Mrs. Mitchell has done it again.  I knew before I even started this book that it was going to be amazing. And oh my heart- it was. I love how she writes; I always come away with some pieces of new knowledge. All her books are about things in history I never would have known about otherwise. My mother (aka my teacher) would be so proud of her.
This one didn’t take place in Queen Elizabeth’s court (see A Constant Heart) or tell the tale of a debutant who loses her place in society (see She Walks in Beauty). It didn’t even explore forbidden love (well, it did a little…see Love’s Pursuit)! No, this novel whisked us off to Boston, year 1918. It told us the stories of three very different Italian girls following the same dream, but in very different ways. But of course, I’ll leave it up to you to find out how it all turns out in the end. 

I loved all the girls, but Annamaria was the one I could relate to the most. Her story was definitely the best of the three…ah, who doesn’t like a little forbidden love thrown in every once in a while? “Where are you going?” “To get some tomatoes!” Her story reminded me of Romeo and Juliet. And…*sigh* Rafaello. He was way more romantic than the other two guys…by a long shot! Mentioning the other guys, I hated Angelo from the very first page. He sickened me. And Julietta was so blind to his true character, like so many girls are today. I actually know a girl that’s a “Julietta,” flirting with danger. And Mauro…he just seemed so…emotionless. I wish I had seen him express his love for Julietta more…he really didn’t convince me at all. He needed a lesson from Billy Quinn, I think.  But then again, the last thing Julietta needed was another guy pursuing her relentlessly. She needed a level-headed guy and a balanced relationship. She had to make up her mind between passionate love and practical love. She had to decide between want and need and choose what was best for her. That brings me to another point: Julietta’s story showed that love is not always passionate. It can be, but not always. Love is based on mutual respect and admiration, too; not only physical attraction. Mauro was perfect for Julietta- she was wild and he was practical. They say that opposites attract… 

To sum it all up, I loved A Heart Most Worthy. It was intriguing and entertaining as well as educating. I don’t think it quite measured up to one of Mrs. Mitchell’s other book, Love’s Pursuit (that one set me of fire!) but it was amazing just as well.

And Madonna Mia! I almost forgot! The cover! I am so lusting after that gown… Happy Reading!

Quick Content Review:

Profanity: None

Violence: None

Sexual: None (Julietta kisses Angelo a couple times, and it’s mentioned that he kisses her neck. He tries to persuade her to sleep with him in exchange for him returning Mrs. Quinn’s jewels, but he gets a better idea instead. Nothing is described.)
