5.0 out of 5 stars A Voyage of Self-discovery, October 24, 2000

By	"tgq22" (NY) - See all my reviews

A voyage of self-discovery, with some hair-raising suspense along the way. For anyone who has ever felt out of place, or been jolted into such feelings, this is the book for you. If you want to know more about Italy and about parent-child relationships, so much the better. Not easily classified as one genre or another, I look forward to more of the author's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardhead, a great Italian-American novel, December 4, 2000

By	"blueeyed03" (NY) - See all my reviews

This tale was one of the best I have read in a long time. Being a college student, naturally I don't read much, but I could not put this book down. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good love story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, I forgot the review title and didn't keep a copy, October 15, 2000

I've sent a review today of Hardhead, Barbara Quinn's book. A few hours later I realised that I made a mistake. At one point I wrote SICILY instead of CALABRIA. Please correct this annoying mistake. I apologise for the inconvenience.
