Digging to America by Anne Tyler
Digging to America by Anne Tyler
In what is perhaps her richest and most deeply searching novel, Anne Tyler is back on form with a story about citizenship and immigration, and about Maryam Yazdan, who after thirty-five years in America must finally come to terms with her "outsiderness."
Two families, who would otherwise never have come together, meet by chance at the Baltimore airport — each couple awaiting the arrival of an adopted infant daughter from Korea. They impulsively decide to celebrate with an "arrival party" – which becomes an annual event.
A novel brimming with subtle, funny, and tender observations that cast a penetrating light on the American way as seen from two perspectives, those who were born there and those who are still struggling to fit in.
