Author Name
Josephine Carnevale (Author)
Just call her “Jo.” (When she worked as a telephone nurse, everyone heard it as "Jill.") She had many jobs as an RN. She also had three children. All girls, all natural, now all grown up. She was married twice, a widow of both, her mother is still living. Jo is 73 and a grandma. “When you get to be in your seventies, you’ve seen a lot of things.” She calls herself a know-it-all; some say it behind her back.An omniscient third-person party writing her first book, she narrated stories through lessons she’s learned and fit them into a novel: "The Nicest Word." She writes about sin and saints and devils on earth and love and loss and forgiveness. She says there’s something in it for everyone.Last summer in Italy on a train, she read Catcher In The Rye; she liked the juxtaposition. She cooks and paints and sews and sings. She wrote the book she wanted to read so she could talk about it. For more information about the author, see inside the book.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Branded by immigrant superstitions and parochial school inhibitions, Lucy Ferrante labors to fit in. Unsure of her own identity, unwilling to take a chance, she struggles to reconcile learning and living in the land between hope and despair.

A catastrophic collision hurls her into a world where the rules are the same for all. Seeds of her need for relearningsprout with power in permission and the possibility of change.

New freedoms emerge while navigating loss and family relationships, sin and sex and forgiveness. Memories start making sense.

A riddle trespassing a comedy, will Lucy make it back home?The Nicest Word is a psychological coming of age which comes at the middle of life, and straddles the last midcentury, somewhere in the country’s Midwest. In TV terms, a comparison is This Is Us meets Shrinking.

It is a book best read with friends, so pick some up today, an invitation to choose your own adventure and répondez s’il vous plait. .
