A rollicking multi-generational saga that immigrants everywhere will identify with. Frederick and Jette sail for the New World in 1904 to escape her wrathful mother. Once there, they endeavour to embrace the new country’s customs, but their past is a constant and inescapable companion — even for their children and grandchildren .

A Good American, Alex George, $30.
