«Digging to America» is the contemporary fiction novel by Anne Tyler, published by Vintage in paperback (304 pages, in English).
Two families meet at Baltimore airport while waiting for their adopted daughters from Korea: the Yazdans, of Iranian origin, and the Donaldsons, Americans. That chance encounter leads to a welcome party that becomes an annual tradition, and over the years their lives intertwine as questions about assimilation, identity, and the American dream mature.
The work was a finalist for the Orange Prize (2007) and the Dublin Literary Award (2008).
For book clubs and contemporary fiction readers interested in stories about family, adoption, and the immigrant experience in the United States.
