Stone is not Forever is a classic immigrant’s tale. Young Dominico Rossa left his paesera for the opportunities offered by the United States at the turn of the 20th century. He hoped to make enough money to return to Italy as a man of respect, save his destroyed family, and win the hand of the woman he loved. He finds that opportunity in the United States is hard won for outsiders. From the labor battles on the streets of New York, to military battles on the fields of the first world war, this is the story of how a provincial Italian becomes an American. In this day of conflict over who gets to be an American, this novel is a reminder of our origins and shared aspirations.
