Bog beskrivelse

Alex George''s A Good American is a positive and uplifting novel about the American Dream.

This is the story of the Meisenheimer family, told by James, a third-generation American living in Beatrice, Missouri. It''s where his German grandparents - Frederick and Jette - found themselves after journeying across the turbulent Atlantic, fording the flood-swollen Mississippi, and being brought to a sudden halt by the broken waters of the pregnant Jette.

A Good American tells of Jette''s dogged determination to feed a town sauerkraut and soul food; the loves and losses of her children, Joseph and Rosa; and the precocious voices of James and his brothers, sometimes raised in perfect harmony . . . sometimes in discord.

But above all, A Good American is about the music in Frederick''s heart, a song that began as an aria, was jazzed by ragtime, and became an anthem of love for his adopted country that the family still hears to this day.
