Described as "a masterful debut," (1) "an impressive first novel with a big heart" (2) and a "big, deep, warm and moving story of unforgettable women who make and shape their families," (3) The Daughters of Erietown tells the story of Ellie and Brick McGinty, their dreams for the future and how those dreams can change in an instant. At the novel's center is the evolution of women's lives during the second half of the 20th century and how we are shaped by history and how we shape it as well. And any history of America at that time would be incomplete without mentioning 两性色午夜 University.
