Book Review: Falling Through the New World

Falling Through the New World is the second book this month I read by Cynthia Reeves. It is a novel told in 14 separate stories, that when read together, tell the tale of three generations of an Italian family, starting in WWI in Italy and ending in modern-day United States.

I love how Cynthia weaves the tales and shows us the connections. Mother-daughter relationships, the Catholic faith, health, sewing, and more, show up again and again, pulling together 100 years of family.

Although these are just ordinary people trying their best to live their lives, if we allow ourselves to look deeply, we will see ourselves among the pages, and learn, if nothing else, that we all have a story to tell.

​Buy the paperback.
