American Ending makes Oprah's Best Books for Spring! "It's small acts of inventiveness, generosity, and love that keep individuals going when hard times close in. This is the wisdom and warmth of American Ending, which resurrects a community of immigrants from a century ago in magical, living detail to tell a story that rings true in the present. Zuravleff's fiery heroine, Yelena, is especially unforgettable, as she builds a life in a country that feels by turns inhospitable and rich with untapped promise."
