From the award-winning author of "The Danish Girl" and "The Rose City," "Pasadena" tells the story of Linda Stamp, a fishergirl born in 1903 on a coastal onion farm, and the three men who change her life: her jealous brother, Edmund; Bruder, the orphan Linda's father brings home from World War I; and a Pasadena orange rancher named Willis Poore. The novel spans Linda's adventurous and romantic life, weaving the tales of her Mexican mother and her German-born father with those of the rural Pacific Coast of her youth and of the small, affluent city, Pasadena, that becomes her home. "Pasadena" is a novel of passion and history, about a woman and a place in perpetual transformation.

Industry Reviews

"Wuthering Heights meets East of Eden."
-The Wall Street Journal

"Pasadena is like a grand opera. . . . [David] Ebershoff must be applauded for the grandness of his design, for grand characters, For grand setting, and . . . for his grand vision of Pasadena as the center of 'real history.'"
-Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Both a triumph of historical re-creation and a full-bodied romance . . . You feel that, if you were transported back to Pasadena in 1925, Ebershoff's book would enable you to find your way around perfectly."
-Baltimore Sun

"Ebershoff's crafting of characters is so sharp, so perfect, that we ache for most of them. . . . [He] has us in thrall, and every word he writes counts."
-Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"Full of detail and unerring language . . . magically evokes the rich and varied landscape of Southern California.'"
-The Boston Sunday Globe

"A luxurious tragedy . . . gorgeous, full of romance and disaster . . . Pasadena is a novel to get lost in."
-The Christian Science Monitor
