Ironies, subtle and glaring, are revealed: the Nasmertovs left Odessa for Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, with a huge sense of finality, only to find that the divide between the old world and the new is not nearly as clear-cut as they thought. The dissolution of the Soviet Union makes returning just a matter of a plane ticket, and the Russian-owned shops in their adopted neighborhood stock even the most obscure comforts of home. Pursuing the American Dream once meant giving up everything, but does the dream still work if the past is always within reach? If the Nasmertov parents can afford only to look forward, learning the rules of aspiration, the family's youngest, Frida, can only look back. 650 0 $a Russian Americans $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrant families $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 0 $a American Dream $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Brighton Beach (New York, N.Y.) $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction. 650 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Rudnicki, Stefan, $d 1945- $e narrator. 710 2 $a Blackstone Audio, Inc., $e publisher. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702022527.0 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20140905095110.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DB6CCC034CA11E4AE16BEAADAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b TEFMTInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
