Fast, Howard The Immigrants
Coronet Books 1980 0-340-23026-6 / 9780340230268 Paperback Very Good
Fast's familiar gaffer prose slips on easy as an old sweater around the ric hesto-rags-to-rebound tale of Dan Layette, orphaned son of a French immigra nt and Italian mother, both of whom perished in the San Francisco earthquak e, Dan's seemingly effortless ascent from youthful owner of one fishing boa t to czar of passenger liners, an airline, department store, hotel, etc., w avers from time to time as he is involved with two women. First there's ban ker's daughter Jean of Nob Hill - you know, spoiled darling falls for real man and r.m. goes for beauty and class. They wed and produce two children, but Jean edges down the thermostat in the bedroom, and Dan turns to a death less affair with gentle Chinese May Ling, daughter of his erstwhile bookkee per, who inexplicably adores his employer. Amid news of the fortunes of Dan 's friends (Italians, Jews, and Irish of a nobility beyond belief) in the W W I years and the prosperity that follows, Dan and Jean spar while Dan and May Ling love, produce a child, and part because May Ling wants marriage. D an gets his divorce when he's wiped out in the Depression, refuses Jean's h elp, hits the breadlines, lands in jail, reunions with May Ling, and turns to honest toil as a fisherman.
