Against This Rock is a compelling novel by Louis Zara that explores the complexities of love, family, and identity. Set in the early 20th century, the story follows the lives of the Santini family, Italian immigrants living in New York City. At the center of the family is the patriarch, Giovanni Santini, a hardworking man who is determined to provide a better life for his family.As the story unfolds, we see the family struggle to assimilate into American culture while also maintaining their traditional Italian values. Giovanni's daughter, Maria, falls in love with an American man, causing tension within the family. Meanwhile, Giovanni's son, Tony, grapples with his own identity as a gay man in a society that doesn't accept homosexuality.Against This Rock is a poignant and honest portrayal of the immigrant experience in America, as well as a powerful exploration of the human condition. Through the Santini family's struggles and triumphs, Zara offers a nuanced and compassionate look at the complexities of family, love, and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
