Summary: "The Last Lady of Mulberry: A Story of Italian New York" by Henry Wilton Thomas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative appears to center around the lives of Italian immigrants in New York, particularly highlighting the aspirations, struggles, and cultural dynamics of characters like Armando, a sculptor, and his friend Bertino, amidst a vibrant Italian-American community. The story explores themes of ambition, love, and the immigrant experience in a bustling urban setting. The opening of the book introduces Armando, a young sculptor discontented with his limited artistic endeavors, who aspires to create a masterpiece that will bring him fame. After the death of his uncle, he makes a vow to elevate his craft and sets off to Genoa in pursuit of artistic inspiration. The narrative then transitions to Bertino, Armando's friend, who dreams of emigrating to America, suggesting a future collaboration where Armando could create busts of notable Americans, spurred on by the cultural opportunities in New York's Mulberry district. As their lives intertwine, themes of ambition, the quest for artistic validation, and cultural identity begin to emerge, setting the stage for their unfolding stories in the vibrant Italian community of early 20th century New York.
