It tells the story of Pete, the son of a Basque immigrant, and his coming of age in Depression-era Carson City. Petes immigrant parents run the Basque Hotel, bed and meals, whiskey and wine in Prohibition time for sheepherders and town characters. Pete is indifferent to his heritage except for disquiet about his parents ignorance of such American traditions as Christmas trees. Pete, too prone to dreams, undergoes his rites of passage-cruelty and kindness, disillusionment, love and terror, pathos and hilarious adventure, and finally, a cautious understanding of his world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083328581920,"sku":"NEW0874172160","price":21.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61E7F7jAKJL.jpg?v=1793554082","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-basque-hotel-the-basque-series-0874172160","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
