Digging to America by Anne Tyler
Two families - one American, one Iranian - adopt baby girls from Korea and thereafter have an annual 'Arrival Party'. Throughout the next (10?) years we get to know the girls, their immediate families, their extended families, and learn about their differences and similarities, and about their shared humanity. Tyler shows us - again - how difficult life can be if we make it, and how easy if we let it. Warm and wonderful, and easy to race through.
