Digging to America

Digging to America, Ann Tyler.


Two American families, one whitebread, the other Iranian American, each adopt a girl from Korea and form a friendship over several years.  Ruminations of what it means to be an American, an immigrant, and part of a family.

Good writing, some of the immigrant insights are good but dont cut deep enough.  Enjoyable, not as good as her "Ladder of Years".
