Nina Romano

She Wouldn't Sing at My Wedding

Mitchell Kaplan, owner of Books & Books

Nina Romano's beautifully rendered elegy to her mother conveys the intensity of a daughter's love--profoundly on display. Romano moves from the lyric to the narrative, always staying true to place and time and surety of voice. I can't wait to share this with my customers. They're in for a real treat.
