Witty, gritty, and at times very funny, this beautifully written novel had me at the first sentence! Set in the run-down factory town of Waterbury, a mother and daughter dream of escaping the stagnant dead-end city in search of a better life. Insightful and honest, it touches on the search for identity, the immigrant experience, and the flawed promise of the American dream.
