- Summary
- Vittorio (Vito) and Peter Imbesalacqua, father and son, opposites in so many ways, have never had an easy time with each other. From the moment Vito arrived in the United States from Italy in 1936, he did his best to live as a good man - hardworking, deeply religious, frugal, and honest. Peter, on the other hand, now forty years old, his real-estate business in shambles, has bent the rules and battled a gambling addiction for most of his adult life.
- With the help of his TV-anchorwoman sister, his devoted girlfriend, his parents, and a police-captain best friend, he has always just succeeded in averting disaster ... until now. Revere Beach Boulevard - a novel both literary and suspenseful - tells the story of a family that rallies around an errant son, even as a dark secret that has blighted all their lives comes to the surface.
