- More about American Ending
In the 1910s, a woman named Yelena seeks a different path than the one her Russian immigrant parents have chosen for her. Will she find her happy American ending or will a dreaded Russian ending be her fate? This novel by Alexandra Zuravleff weaves Russian fairy tales and fables into a family saga within the storied American landscape, reminding us that the challenges facing immigrants and the fragility of citizenship are still relevant today.
Format: Hardback
Length: 350 pages
Publication date: 20 July 2023
Publisher: John F Blair Publisher
Yelena is the first American born to her Old Believer Russian Orthodox parents, who are building a life in a Pennsylvania Appalachian town. This town, in the first decades of the 20th century, is filled with Russian transplants and a new church with a dome. Here, boys quit grade school for the coal mines and girls are married off at fourteen. The young pair up, give birth to more babies than they can feed, and make shaky starts in their new world. However, Yelena craves a different path. Will she find her happy American ending or will a dreaded Russian ending be her fate?
In this immersive novel, Zuravleff weaves Russian fairy tales and fables into a family saga within the storied American landscape. The challenges facing immigrants—and the fragility of citizenship—are just as unsettling and surprising today as they were 100 years ago. American Ending is a poignant reminder that everything that is happening in America has already happened.
