Digging to America by Anne Tyler

5.0

Man, once I start an Anne Tyler book, it seems like the next thing I know, I'm done. Her voice is so effortless and smooth I don't even feel like I'm reading.

Maryam Yazdan's 30+ year, sometimes grudging journey to become American, even as the novel is ostensibly about two baby girls from Korea adopted by two families in the Baltimore area, captures something really special. As has happened millions of times in the nation's history, each person changes America just as America changes them.
