Autor T. Cooperen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2007 – vârsta de la 18 ani
A postmodern family saga by one of America’s freshest literary voices Upon landing at Ellis Island in 1903, Esther and Hersh Lipshitz discover their son Reuven is missing. The child is never found, and decades later, Esther becomes convinced that the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh is her lost boy.
