Her First American

by Segal, Lore

A classic novel of the immigrant experience
"Lore Segal may have come closer than anyone to writing the Great American Novel." --The New York Times Book Review

She's Ilka Weissnix, a young Jewish refugee from Hitler's Europe, newly arrived in the United States. He's Carter Bayoux, her first American: a middle-aged, hard-drinking Black intellectual. Lore Segal's brilliant novel is the story of their love affair--one of the funniest and saddest in modern fiction.
