Patricia Volante tells her family’s story in this delightful memoir, following the lives of the Rossi family through several generations. She charts the hard work and ambition involved in emigrating and building a business from scratch, from pushing wheelbarrows of homemade ice cream to sell on the streets of Glasgow, to setting up the first Rossi ice cream parlour in Southend.
