- Summary:
- "The nine stories that make up the dime museum cover a century of generations in a single family over wide locales: Philadelphia, Venice, Chicago, Lisbon, and Prague. Early on we meet Maude, a male impersonator still in love with the woman she performed with 40 years before. It is Maude who sets in motion the novel's large cast: an American ex-pat poet in Italy, in love with an immigrant hospital nurse back home; a heart-broken scion alone in an old-money Philadelphia mansion; a damaged war vet turned gardener; a Czech violinist with conflicting levels of longing; several wounded mothers and daughters; and Min, that young nurse, caring for her mother, in love with a poet, and looking for the place her heart should be. In the end, the youngest of them are left to face the daunting long tail of the Twentieth Century. "--Back cover.
