{"product_id":"american-ending","title":"American Ending","description":"An Oprah Daily pick for spring 2023\nDavid J. Langum, Sr. Prize in American Historical Fiction Finalist\nA woman growing up in a family of Russian immigrants in the 1910s seeks a thoroughly American life.\nYelena is the first American born to her Old Believer Russian Orthodox parents, who are building a life in a Pennsylvania Appalachian town. This town, in the first decades of the 20th century, is filled with Russian transplants and a new church with a dome. Here, boys quit grade school for the coal mines and girls are married off at fourteen. The young pair up, give birth to more babies than they can feed, and make shaky starts in their new world. However, Yelena craves a different path. Will she find her happy American ending or will a dreaded Russian ending be her fate?\nIn this immersive novel, Zuravleff weaves Russian fairy tales and fables into a family saga within the storied American landscape. The challenges facing immigrants—and the fragility of citizenship—are just as unsettling and surprising today as they were 100 years ago. American Ending is a poignant reminder that everything that is happening in America has already happened.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1949467996\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1949467996.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Zuravleff, Mary Kay\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
