...story as a child in her native England, when her mother gave her a book during wartime. Producer Scott Rudin told of of how he came to bring his friend Joan Didion's book The Year of Magical Thinking to Broadway.

Topor pointed out the same things that Ms. Tognetti had: the “real” Nutella in the glass jar, the impact of the Euro on the Salumeria, the less than desirable bresaola (air-cured beef) from Uruguay. The resonances between their favorite parts of the North End were almost as reassuring as the things...
