#immigrantsong In my favorite book, Francie‘s Irish father is always singing when he gets home. #maymoviemagic
I'm following @batsy and recycling a post from an earlier challenge nearly three years ago. Published in 1934. It does a good job of showing the gap between what a person thinks/feels in their native tongue and what they are able to express in English.

This showed up on my doorstep unsolicited when it was first published. I‘d never had any interest in reading Trigiani, but this book wowed me. Enza and Ciro‘s love story captivated me, and I loved reading about their journey from Italy to the US and the decades that followed. #immigrantsong #maymoviemagic
Celebrating #MothersDay with my mom & honoring her mother with this dedication from Robson's The Gown. Pic of my gram (b.1890) also "an immigrant, a seamstress, and a most beloved grandmother." Loving this multigenerational story of a granddaughter discovering her Nan's past as a seamstress who embroidered Elizabeth II's wedding gown. And my sis-in-law (a Hartnell) is related to the designer! #ImmigrantSong #MayMovieMagic @cinfhen @rohit-sawant
#MayMovieMagic #ImmigrantSong two that I read very recently.... both beautiful & memorable books 👍🏻♥️💔
The last time I mentioned this book was two years ago, also for a @Cinfhen photo challenge, in May 🙂
A brilliant book that touched me deeply. I read it when I took a summer course in college on British lit with a professor I respected a lot and didn't regret it; his reading list was 🔥 #ImmigrantSong #MayMovieMagic @rohit-sawant
Looking forward to this story of a Peruvian family who emigrate to NYC in the 1990s and the challenges they face. #immigrantsong

(Day 12 - #ImmigrantSong)
*Pictured above are B&W photos of Ellis Island, which is a symbol of the immigrants who came to America from 1892 to 1954. The color photos are of the Southern US border, which is the site of Trump‘s {planned} border wall. The illustrations are from the tagged book about US immigration, but the Norseman is symbolic of the Norse invasion into Britain around the year 793, which is the subject of the song.
#immigrantsong sings to my heart. My grandparents were all born in NYC from Immigrants Hungarian. Austrian,Luthiuanian, German, And Irish. My paternal grandmothers family were Orthodox Jews, and her grandfather was a Rabbi. My maternal Grandfathers family has nuns and priests. My Extended family includes people of Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican and African descent. #maymoviemagic #oneworld 🥰❤️🥰 #nohumanisilligal
