Baker Towers

In her second novel, Baker Towers, Jennifer Haigh explores the lives of the five Novak children growing up in Bakerton, a Pennsylvania mining town in the aftermath of World War II. As they navigate their own paths—Georgie in the South Pacific, Dorothy in Washington, D.C., Joyce grappling with lost opportunities, charming Sandy, and the attention-seeking Lucy—they embody the struggles and aspirations of their generation. This poignant family saga captures a bygone era and pays tribute to America’s industrial past and the resilience of the men and women who shaped it. Narrated by Anna Fields, the audiobook brings to life this compelling coming-of-age tale.
