«Ellis Island» is the historical novel by Fred Mustard Stewart, published by Seix Barral in paperback (395 pages, in Spanish).
Between 1907 and 1920, five immigrants arrive in the United States via Ellis Island: the Ukrainian Jew Jacob Rubinstein, the Irish sisters Bridget and Georgie O'Donnell, and the Calabrian peasant Marco. The lives of these five intertwine as they pursue the American dream and reflect different segments of the country's society.
The novel inspired a television series in which Richard Burton made his final on-screen performance.
For fans of historical fiction and stories of European immigration to the United States at the beginning of the 20th century.
