A funny, heart-felt memoir by two Italian-American brothers about growing up in the Pelham Bay area, an incredibly idyllic place in the North Bronx during the 1940’s and ‘50’s.

Abstract:
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.

Reviewer: Victoria Shaw
This is a wonderful trip through the golden age of the Bronx. Filled with vivid stories, memories, and a history of the Bronx and NY, too! I highly recommend this book!
