The Last Days of Ellis Island

by Gaëlle Josse

Book Overview

Winner of the European Union Prize for Literature

"Josse powerfully evokes the spirit of the 'huddled masses' who landed on America's shores while creating a memorable portrait of a man torn between his commitment to his difficult job and the longings of his heart. Duty and desire clash in the melancholy reminiscences of a former Ellis Island immigration officer." --Kirkus, *Starred Review*
