Mesmerizing reading. The story of one Jewish imigrant girl, who fights to beat the ritual of matchmaking during the 20's and to live her life in the area her family ended up migrating to, New York. A hard read in many places. Sad. I had to lay the book down and walk around and digest before I could finish reading in a few places.I found I liked this author alot. The writing was smooth, didn't jump around. I second my review with the other reviewer's...this is a great read.
