Author:	Oates, Joyce Carol.
Publisher:	Paw Prints 2008.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	In 1936 the Schwarts, an immigrant family desperate to escape Nazi Germany, settle in a small town in upstate New York, where the father, a former high school teacher, is demeaned by the only job he can get: gravedigger and cemetery caretaker. After local prejudice and the family?s own emotional frailty result in unspeakable tragedy, the gravedigger?s daughter, Rebecca, begins her astonishing pilgrimage into America, an odyssey of erotic risk and imaginative daring, ingenious self-invention, and, in the end, a bittersweet?but very?American??triumph.?You are born here, they will not hurt you??so the gravedigger has predicted for his daughter, which will turn out to be true.
