Brass by Xhenet Aliu
4.0
Brass is the story of a mother and daughter from the faded town of Waterbury, Connecticut. The mother is the daughter of Lithuanian-American immigrants. The daughter is half-Albanian. The novel alternates between past and present and Elsie and Luljeta's stories.
I wished we could have spent a bit more time with each character before moving back to the other one. The structure just didn't work for me. It took me out of the story too often. Otherwise it was great. 3.5 stars.
