5 star Review on Amazon
I love this review! Of course, I love every one of my 14 5-Star Reviews on Amazon and am grateful for each of them. 5 STAR REVIEW - BRIDGE OF SIGHS AND DREAMS - "Full of Intrigue, Adventure and Sharp Dialogue Bridge of Sighs and Dreams by Pamela Allegretto is book that envelopes you from the first few pages. Ms Allegretto has a real gift for catchy, sharp dialogue and briskly moving the story along. Full of intrigue, adventure, humanity, love and war, it tells the story of how WWII impacted Italian civilians, turning their world upside down and pitting families and friends against each other in a gripping struggle of war's horror and the struggle to survive it. One character is the most vile, despicable betrayer of friends and family that I've ever seen in literature. She shockingly betrays even her own family. This is a well told saga with keen insight into personalities and how war influences behaviors. Bravo to Pamela Allegretto for such a compellingly told story." Bridge of Sighs and Dreams is available for purchase in paperback and eBook at: AMAZON:

Bridge of Sighs and Dreams
By – Wayne Hagstrom on February 10, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Pamela Allegretto’s latest novel “Bridge of Sighs and Dreams” is a non stop page turner that will have you riveted and deeply involved from beginning to end. They say it’s best to write “what you know” and the author has incorporated her visual ability as a painter and her life experience having lived in Italy into a captivating heart felt book. Her ability to include the smallest visual details and weave them into a cohesive whole separates her from the majority of writers who lack her artistic background. The writing is almost Hemingwayesque in its ability to visually imprint the individual scenes on the reader’s mind. We see this novel. The Italian experience during World War 2 is a much overlooked piece of fascinating historical territory that Allegretto mines with the expert eye of a painter and the instinct of a natural born storyteller. The characters jump at you–we feel their personalities and quickly become embedded with this family. We want to know “what happens next” and this feeling never leaves the reader throughout the book. The author keeps her chapters short and never bores us with superficial page fillers that bog down so many lesser reads. If surprise is the key element of a great story–this novel is full of the unexpected twists and turns that only the best books give us. Pour yourself a glass of Italian wine, sit down and open this novel–you won’t look at that cell phone for days.
