I have read several books for book club but this was one was truly a standout and one I would definitely recommend to others. Why? It has universal themes of human suffering and resilience, but also conveys a time in place of Brooklyn around the turn of the 20th century. It profoundly portrays the lives of second generation immigrants to New York - their mentalities and the challenges they faced.
I wasn't sure I would be able to attend meeting, but at the last minute, I obtained the book on kindle and dove in. I wasn't able to complete it before the meet up, but I fell in love with the author's sensitive depiction of her world - inner and outer terrain.
