SynopsisTwo families awaiting the arrival of their adopted infant daughters from Korea meet at the airport. The families lives become interwined after the Donaldsons, a young American couple invite the Yazdan's, Maryam, her son and his Iranian American wife to an arrival party, which becomes an annual event. Maryam, who came to this country thirty-five years earlier, feels her values threatened when she is courted by a newly widowed Donaldson. A penetrating light on the American way as seen from two perspectives, those who are born here and those who are still struggling to fit in. AnnotationTwo very different families, the sprawling Donaldson clan, and the Iranian-immigrant Yazdans, both adopt Korean children at the same time, and soon, though they have nothing in common, their lives become intertwined. Anne Tyler chronicles the multi-cultural condition with insight, warmth, and plenty of comedy.
