Washington, D.C., U.S.A.: Counterpoint, 2001 A harrowing tale about friendship and love, America and the immigrant's dream, this book introduces Ada Kruk, who is at once Mary and Medea, Sarah and Medusa. A study of ambitions gone awry and appetites too easily gratified, this novel is also an unflinching meditation on exile, assimilation and the price of love. The characters are haunting and vividly drawn. Remainder.
