For the month of May, we will be reading and discussing From Lukov With Love by Mariana Zapata.&nbsp;
If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After seventeen years of figure skating - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete is coming to a close.
But when the offer of a lifetime comes from the arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in front of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.Including Ivan Lukov.

Starting in the late 19th century, immigrants from Italy began flooding into New Haven to work in the city's many factories. People from the Amalfi coast settled in the Wooster Square area, turning it into an Italian American enclave, with rich cultural traditions. &nbsp;Today, few descendants of the immigrants still live in Wooster Square, but vestiges of their community remain–in the church, the ethnic societies and their&nbsp;festas, and the pizza joints and pastry shops. Most vividly, the village lives on in the fond memories of the people who grew up there.&nbsp; PLEASE NOTE: there will be a Q&amp;A with the film’s director Steve Hamm (Elm City Films) Hear about the invitation to share the film in New Haven's sister city Amalfi, Italy and their response to the documentary.&nbsp; 2018 – 60 min.
