Riassunto

AN IMMIGRANT'S POWERFUL JOURNEY OF ASPIRATION AND LOVE IN EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY NEW YORK. THIS MOVING DEBUT NOVEL BY GREGORY ERICH PHILLIPS WON THE GRAND PRIZE FOR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE CHANTICLEER REVIEWS INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS. Pre WWI, Elsa came to America with her eyes wide open, realizing it was up to her to make a life for herself. Surviving a sweatshop in lower Manhattan, a chance job with a Long island elite family opens up her world. Invited in, up to a point, she unwittingly, albeit precariously, crosses the social divide with her now open heart which puts all she worked for in jeopardy. What a truly wonderful story! I’ve read it three times, and with each reading I find myself caring about the fabulous characters and their lives even more.” — P. J. Alderman, New York Times Bestselling Author “From the riveting opening . . . until its gripping conclusion, this enthralling novel vividly portrays the desperate times of German immigrants landing at Ellis Island in 1905. A timely read . . . it illuminates the issues that we are experiencing a century later. . .Phillips reminds us that love, light, and perseverance can help us find a way to overcome almost any obstacle.” — Chanticleer Reviews Grand Prize Chaucer Historical Fiction Book Awards

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Love of Finished Years, a debut novel by Gregory Erich Phillips won the Chaucer Award in historical fiction, as well as the Grand Prize for best book of the year across all genres from Chanticleer Reviews while still in manuscript form. It was then picked up by the Sillan Pace Brown Group to be published January 2018. Some people have called the author a renaissance man, because of his diverse life experiences. He works by day as a mortgage banker, and in his spare time plays the violin, sings in cathedral choirs, and moonlights as a tango performer (I have danced on stages in San Francisco, New York City and Seattle). Writing novels has been his passion since he was in high school as he was inspired by his literary family. He enjoys researching historical context for his unforgettable characters to explore. He lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife, Rachel: his wife, his tango partner, and his muse.
