The Chianti Chronicles: Volume Two: Life’s a Comedy, That’s Not Always Funny

Kevin Cullen has done it again! "The Chianti Chronicles Volume Two" is heartfelt, funny, and masterfully captures the raw realities of life, love, and our own imperfections. It's filled with laugh-out-loud moments that had me eagerly flipping through the pages. The characters? They’re vivid and captivating, grabbing your attention right off the bat. I could just see Dom, drink in one hand and cigar in the other, lounging on a beach in the story "All Inclusive Shock Therapy." And let me tell you,

Enjoyed this collection of short stories even more than the first one! Sensitive and, at times, touching recollections of lost loves, tragedies, and a hope for a better future. Mr. Cullen has outdone himself with these stories and I hope he continues to write more of them. A pleasure to read his work. Great read!

Raw, emotional, and deeply humanI grew up hearing bits and pieces of my dad’s Vietnam stories, but this book made those memories come alive in a way I wasn’t prepared for. Each story captures a different kind of courage, the quiet kind, the broken kind, the kind that keeps going when no one’s watching. I cried more than once, but I closed the book feeling proud of every name I didn’t know.
