Pasadena by David Ebershoff
This sweeping, richly imagined novel charts the rapid transformation of Southern California from frontier to suburb during the first half of the twentieth century. At the story's center is Linda Stamp, a fisher girl born in 1903 on a coastal farm in San Diego's North County, and the three men who upend her life and vie for her affection: her pragmatic farming brother, Edmund; Captain Willis Poore, a Pasadena rancher with a heroic military past; and Bruder, the mysterious young man Linda's father brings home from World War I. Through the darkly handsome Bruder, Linda glimpses love and a world beyond her own. She follows him to the seemingly greener pastures of Pasadena, where he is the foreman of a flourishing orange ranch, the homestead and inheritance of the charming bachelor Willis Poore.The Danish Girl, David Ebershoff's debut novel, earned the Lambda Literary Prize for transgender literature in 2000 and was turned into a big film feature starring Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. His most recent work, The 19th Wife, was a #1 bestseller that was adapted into a television movie that broadcast throughout the world. He's also the author of Pasadena, a book, and The Rose City, a collection of short stories. His books have been translated into twenty languages and have received positive reviews. Out Magazine's annual Out100 list of important LGBT people has featured Ebershoff twice.
He is a professor at Columbia University's graduate writing department and has worked as an editor at Random House for many years.
