Description
- Award-winning author and storyteller: American Ending is an incredibly engrossing, richly detailed family saga set just after the turn of the 20th century. Drawing on Russian fairy tales and fables, Zuravleff holds a light up to the stories we tell ourselves and each other, stories that can shape our expectations of love and family, of good and evil, and happy (or unhappy) endings.
- Historical parallels to contemporary issues: American Ending makes beautiful and subtle parallels to life for American immigrants during the last century and in this one, examining the promises of the American Dream.
- Based on the author’s family story: The immigrant experiences of Zuravleff’s four grandparents are the inspiration for this novel. American Ending is a generational journey and a rich characterization of living in small town Pennsylvania coal county during the early 20th century.
