The novel is about the daughter in an immigrant family who escaped Nazi Germany and settled in upstate New York as she sets out to discover America.
Commentator Christopher Hitchens will discuss his book “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Town Hall Seattle.
