Sky over Bay City

1960. At the end of Veronica Lane, a metal prefab house has been erected in Bay City. A family moves into it. Two sisters, Denise and Babette, take turns giving birth to little Americans. They have left war-torn Europe for America. The future seems to belong to this continent, where everyone is happier, everything is newer. But History cannot be simply abandoned. Denise's daughter, Amy, is haunted by the dead, and she makes a strange discovery in the basement of the small metal house. A powerful novel, permeated with America's thirst and a desperate desire to end the past, "The Sky Over Bay City" accuses the sky of indifference to our suffering.
