Chicago's Headmistress

Chicago's Headmistress

Chicagoâ€™s Headmistress was recently nominated for Best Historical Fiction at eFestival of Words.: This novel about Prohibition and prostitution during the Roaring Twenties is a prequel and partial parallel to the Italian/American generational saga, The Family Angel, but can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone. Every story has more than one side and within a generational saga many stories link and overlap. Loretta Giacoletto tells this one from the perspective of two of The Family Angelâ€™s most intriguing characters. In the words of Ugo Sapone:

â€œNever did I think Iâ€™d find myself involved in forward-thinking education. Never did I think Iâ€™d find myself involved in an illegal activity that has given so many people such joy. Yet, here I am, right hand man to Giulietta Bracca.â€

Follow Giulietta Braccaâ€™s notorious rise to wealth and power, from street urchin in 1905 Genoa, Italy, to the headmistress of Night School, Prohibition Chicagoâ€™s most popular and innovative menâ€™s club in the 1920s. Along the way Giulietta plays a deadly game of one-upmanship with men who use her, abuse her, and fall head-over-heels in love with her. This quick-study seductress soon learns to give as good as she gets and with only a few regretsâ€”those so devastating they will haunt her into eternity. But thereâ€™s one man Giulietta will never forget: the immigrant bootlegger she gave up too soon and will stop at nothing to lure him back, even if it means jeopardizing all she holds dear. A must-read for fans of The Family Angel, Family Deceptions, The Prohibition Era, The Great Depression, and WWII fiction.
