Media Reviews
There's plenty of storytelling charm on display here, with echoes of John Irving's humane zaniness. --The New York Times Book Review

What does it mean to be a good citizen? A good member of a family? In A Good American, George considers both questions with humor, compassion, and grace. A beautifully written novel, laced with history and music. --Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven

This lush, epic tale of one family's journey from immigrants to good Americans had me alternately laughing and crying, but always riveted. It's a rich, rare treat of a book, and Alex George is a first-rate talent. --Sara Gruen, New York Times bestselling author of Water for Elephants and Ape House

As epic as an opera, as intimate as a lullaby, A Good American swept me through an entire century of triumph and tragedy with the wonderful Meisenheimer family...Alex George has created that rare and beautiful thing--a novel I finished and immediately wanted to start again. --Eleanor Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Weird Sisters
A sweeping, lush intergenerational novel about a family...learning to live in twentieth-century America. --O, The Oprah Magazine
