In her latest novel “The View from Lake Como,” bestselling author Adriana Trigiani takes readers on a journey between two places that share the same name: Lake Como, New Jersey, and the more glamorous Lake Como in Italy.

Trigiani, who has written 21 books, brings her signature storytelling to a tale that intertwines themes of family, heritage and the immigrant experience.

During an interview on “Mornings On 1” Wednesday, she explained the inspiration behind the latest novel, and explained how New York City became its own character.
