Illustrated by
Walter Lyon Krudop.
The "many voices" of the title include a fictional letter from an Armenian girl to her dead mother, a running narrative from a modern-day child, and--most successfully--quotations from real people who passed through Ellis Island. Their powerful words are accompanied by historical photographs; paintings (some muddy) also decorate the crowded pages. The format blurs fact and fiction in a confusing way. Reading list, websites.
