  • "For the people of Bakerton, and the five children of the Novak family, the years after World War II alter their lives in unforeseen and irrevocable ways. Dorothy is a fragile beauty hooked on romance. Brilliant Joyce, the family's keystone, is bitterly aware of the life she might have had elsewhere. Sandy, the youngest boy, sails through life on looks and charm. George, the veteran, is driven to escape the life he was born to through selfishness and hard work. And Lucy, the volatile baby, is a confused girl with a voracious need for love. A compelling story of love and loss in a western Pennsylvania mining town."@en

  • "Cette saga familiale met en scène deux frères et deux soeurs d'une même famille américaine qui, au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, s'engagent de façon différente mais avec espoir dans un monde plein de promesses."
  • "Lotgevallen van een Pools-Italiaans gezin in een Amerikaans mijnstadje van de Tweede Wereldoorlog tot het midden van de jaren zestig van de 20e eeuw."
  • "Bakerton is a community of company houses and church festivals, of union squabbles and firemen's parades. Its neighborhoods include Little Italy, Swedetown, and Polish Hill. For its tight-knit citizens -- and the five children of the Novak family -- the 1940s will be a decade of excitement, tragedy, and stunning change. Baker Towers is a family saga and a love story, a hymn to a time and place long gone, to America's industrial past, and to the men and women we now call the Greatest Generation. It is a feat of imagination from an extraordinary voice in American fiction, a writer of enormous power and skill."@en
