Historia
The fateful first meeting of Enza and Ciro takes place amid the Italian Alps at the turn of the last century. Still teenagers, they are separated when Ciro is banished from his village and sent to hide in New York's Little Italy, apprenticed to a shoemaker, leaving a bereft Enza behind. But when her own family faces disaster, she, too, is forced to emigrate to America. Though destiny will reunite the star-crossed lovers, it will, just as abruptly, separate them once again - sending Ciro off to serve in World War I, while Enza is drawn into the glamorous world of the opera.

Resumen del Editor
Adriana Trigiani, the New York Times best-selling author of the blockbuster epic The Shoemaker's Wife, returns with her biggest and boldest novel yet, a hypnotic tale based on a true story and filled with her signature elements: family ties, artistry, romance, and adventure. Born in the golden age of Hollywood, All the Stars in Heaven captures the luster, drama, power, and secrets that could only thrive in the studio system - viewed through the lives of an unforgettable cast of players creating magic on the screen and behind the scenes.
In this spectacular saga as radiant, thrilling, and beguiling as Hollywood itself, Adriana Trigiani takes us back to Tinsel Town's golden age - an era as brutal as it was resplendent - and into the complex and glamorous world of a young actress hungry for fame and success. With meticulous, beautiful detail, Trigiani paints a rich, historical landscape of 1930s Los Angeles, where European and American artisans flocked to pursue the ultimate dream: to tell stories on the silver screen.
The movie business is booming in 1935 when 21-year-old Loretta Young meets 34-four-year-old Clark Gable on the set of The Call of the Wild. Though he's already married, Gable falls for the stunning and vivacious young actress instantly.
Far from the glittering lights of Hollywood, Sister Alda Ducci has been forced to leave her convent and begin a new journey that leads her to Loretta. Becoming Miss Young's secretary, the innocent and pious young Alda must navigate the wild terrain of Hollywood with fierce determination and a moral code that derives from her Italian roots. Over the course of decades, she and Loretta encounter scandal and adventure, choose love and passion, and forge an enduring bond of love and loyalty that will be put to the test when they eventually face the greatest obstacle of their lives.

Soggy In The Middle
If you could sum up All the Stars in the Heavens in three words, what would they be?
A well know story of an illegitimate child of two movie stars, with a romantic spin. Slow story, with a great reader. No problems with the reader, just with the story!
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The character of Alda is more interesting then Loretta Young and Clark Gable. However, the character of Alda just disappears about half way into the story, and the focus is on Loretta. Loretta was just too good to be true, and I missed finding out more about Alda and husband, Luca.
Which character – as performed by Blair Brown – was your favorite?
Easily Alda! From a nunnery to Hollywood, she was the most interesting, and the most unpredictable. Loretta was " a saint" and Clark Gable " a womanizer." No news there.
If you could rename All the Stars in the Heavens, what would you call it?
Old Hollywood Story Retold.
Any additional comments?
Somewhat disappointed in this book. Tragiani wrote so well in the Valentina series, and this book can be read on Wickipedia. As I said, the character of Alda was fresh and engaging, but she goes away too early.

A great tribute to Loretta Young.
A Hollywood story told with dignity and respect as only Adriana could do. She makes you feel her characters from the inside where it truly counts, not the superficial surface the changes with time. Another winner for a great author.

Very dissapointing
Would you try another book from Adriana Trigiani and/or Blair Brown?
I love Adriana Trigiani. this book was a dissapointment
Has All the Stars in the Heavens turned you off from other books in this genre?
I didn't like the fact it was biographical. I like more of a non fiction story.
Have you listened to any of Blair Brown’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listened to Blair Brown
Do you think All the Stars in the Heavens needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. The story was complete.

Whitewashing of the real story
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Characters were too black and white
Would you be willing to try another book from Adriana Trigiani? Why or why not?
probably not
What about Blair Brown’s performance did you like?
She did a good job of mimicking the actores
Did All the Stars in the Heavens inspire you to do anything?
No
Any additional comments?
The characters were too simple. Loretta a saint, Gable a lovable cad. The real story of Judy is that she was a result of rape and it's insulting to the memory of the very devout Gretchen Young to imply she welcomed Gable into her bed. Gable got off far too easily in the book, everyone forgave him because that's just the way he was. He impregnated her against her will and then ignored his child, not even providing any financial support, which there is no excuse for. It bothered me that the author played so loose and fast with their history so it seems like a definitive version of what really happened.

I love Adriana Trigiani, but ...
I love everything that AT writes, but this was an incredibly long story that could have been told in half the time. There were several times that I wanted to stop listening, but the narrator kept me interested ‘enough’. I typically don’t get excited to be done with a book - but this one made me tired and sooooo happy to be through
