The Gravedigger's Daughter: A Novel (P.S.)

The Gravedigger's Daughter: A Novel (P.S.)

Fleeing Nazi Germany in 1936, the Schwarts immigrate to a small town in upstate New York. Here the fatherâ€”a former high school teacherâ€”is demeaned by the only job he can get: gravedigger and cemetery caretaker. When local prejudice and the family's own emotional frailty give rise to an unthinkable tragedy, the gravedigger's daughter, Rebecca heads out into America. Embarking upon an extraordinary odyssey of erotic risk and ingenious self-invention, she seeks renewal, redemption, and peaceâ€”on the road to a bittersweet and distinctly â€œAmericanâ€ triumph.
