ISBN:  9788848603119 8848603114 Edition:  1st ed. Description:  474 p. ; 19 cm. Summary:  "It is April 1903, and the steamship Republic spills more than 2,000 hopeful immigrants onto the pier at Ellis Island. Among them are Diamante, age 12, and Vita, 9, sent by their poor families in southern Italy to make their way in America. Amid the chaos and splendour of New York City, the poverty and crime of Little Italy, Diamante and Vita struggle to survive, to grow up and, most of all, to become American. From journeys west in search of work to journeys back to Italy in search of their roots, to Vita's son's encounter with his mother's hometown while serving as an army captain in World War II, Vita both slices through the mythology of the immigrant experience and pays imaginative homage to it. Weaving her own family history into this tale of discovery, love and loss, award-winning author Melania Mazzucco has created an epic that is passionate, beautifully vibrant and sometimes shockingly dark."--HarperCollins Canada.
