Ellis Island toma su nombre del centro de inmigración, en la Bahía de Nueva York, por donde entraban en los Estados Unidos, en los primeros años de nuestro siglo y hasta el final de la primera guerra mundial, la mayor parte de los europeos que deseaban emigrar.
La historia nacional norteamericana, entre 1907 y 1920, nos es relatada desde la perspectiva de cinco inmigrantes: el judío ucraniano Jacob Rubinstein, las hermanas irlandesas Bridget y Georgie O’Donnell, el campesino calabrés Marco Santorelli y el labriego, minero y sindicalista checo Tomas Baniceck.
Desde los medios más humildes hasta los más aristocráticos, Ellis Island edifica, con infrecuente rigor narrativo, una reconstrucción subyugante y significativa de un período crucial en la historia del país.
La adaptación fílmica para televisión de la presente novela fue la última actuación de Richard Burton ante las cámaras.
