With quick silver wit the story of a young girl crossing the threshold to womanhood unfolds as she learns the bitter trade-off between what is irretrievably lost and what is gained, as she and her family confront the grim reality of living the American dream.  -Charles Ruas, Author of, “Conversations with American Writers.”  Praise for To Die In Chicago  As seen through the eyes of an innocent and idealistic 16-year-old immigrant girl from Yugoslavia, a tale of disillusionment, struggle, and resistance in the American heartland of the 1950's. Beautifully told, deeply felt. -Artist and Writer, Rebecca Clare   This book surpasses Nadja Tesich's previous brilliant works, Shadow Partisan and Native Land--She is an interesting literary treasure. -Laura Shane Cunningham, author of Sleeping Arrangements   Praise for Nadja Tesich and Native Land  A vivid, engrossing work of memory and observation. The honesty of the girl’s perceptions-particularly those around issues of politics and womanliness-make the writing all the more sympathetic. -Philip Lopate","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128644583664,"sku":"9781450233903","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450233903_p0.jpg?v=1763833349","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450233903","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
