Almost Golden

Rate this book
ALMOST GOLDEN is the collaborative memoir of two third-generation Italian-American brothers who grew up in the section of the North Bronx known as “Country Club” during the 1940’s and early ‘50’s. It revisits a bucolic Bronx on the shores of Pelham Bay—a Bronx with snowy white Christmases, swashbuckling uncles, 25-cent movie serials, egg creams, loopy aunts, even cowboys. It was an idyllic enclave that few people ever knew about in a post-War America when the future seemed to be pure gold.
