I did not enjoy this one as much as other Hegi novels.
From the inside flap:
"The luminious epic of a bicultural family filled with passion and aspirations, tragedy and redemption. At the beginning of the 20th centruy, Stefan Blau flees Burgdorf, a small town in Germany, and comes to America in search of the vision that has grafted itself to his mind so tenaciously that he's dreamed of it efvery single night. The novel closes nearly a century later with Stefan's granddaughter, Emma, and thelegacy of his dream, a once-grand apartment house filled with the hidden truth of its inhabitants both past and present. Ursula Hegi creates a fascinating picture of immigrants in America: their dreams and disappointments, the challenges of assimilation, the frialy of language and its transcendence, the love that bonds generations and the cultrual wedges that drive them irrevocably apart."

Thanks so much to OneMorePage for granting this wish from my wish list! I'll read it and pass it on in the same way.
