Loretta Castorini, a practical Italian-American widow who works as a bookkeeper, lives in Brooklyn Heights with her parents, Cosmo and Rose, and her paternal grandfather. Her life is built on careful routines and family expectations, even as she nudges at the edges of romance that she hasn’t fully trusted since losing her first husband after just two years of marriage. When her longtime boyfriend, Johnny Cammareri, proposes before heading to Sicily to care for his ailing mother, Loretta agrees to the engagement but makes it clear that she wants to honor tradition as a guide for what comes next. She fears that skipping rites and rituals could invite misfortune, a belief that has shaped her cautious approach to love.
