About this listen

Told in dual POV and set in 1913 Boston, a middle class girl and a Greek immigrant defy her parents and buck society by eloping, but when tragedy rips them apart they give up everything, including each other, for their love and for their child.

Critic Reviews

"The Immigrant's Wife is a vivid and haunting novel told with great precision and heart. You can't help but root for Charles and Anna, two star-crossed strivers making their way in an unforgiving world. Jennifer Harris has written a transporting debut."—Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men

“Jennifer Harris shows a real talent for character, place, period. She moves in Edith Wharton's circle, both in talent and tone in The Immigrant’s Wife."—Dan Weaver, editor in chief of Nation Books in New York City, Faber & Faber, Inc. in Boston, senior editor at Viking Penguin and McGraw-Hill in New York City
