It was alright. I think it might have been better (because it was a well written and good story) if I had any idea who these people were... I've not read the Bible- and therefore - these apparently important people - this story of the women's side when the Bible speaks of the men's side... was entirely lost to me.
I would not recommend it as highly to someone who is not familiar with the biblical story of the family - but otherwise - it was a pretty good story.

Great book. I got to learn about Boston and culture in the early 20th century.

The story is of Addie, a Jewish girl of immigrant, reactionary, Jewish parents, who is growing up in New York. Addie loves life, loves learning, and remembers so much of her youth. The narration is amongst the best I've ever heard. Linda Lavin (who used to star in the show Alice on TV) does the most perfect New York Yiddish accent. It added such authenticity to the novel. Great narrators are a rarity, but I will listen to anything narrated by Simon Vance, Juliet Stevenson, and now Linda Lavin as well.
Addie's life is full of family, friends, learning, loving, grieving; in other words, it is a full life. I envied Addie her family, their closeness, even their arguments. Addie doesn't get along with her mother; I didn't get along with mine, and they were very similar characters. I remember when my mother died in 2021 that I thought to myself that no one would ever be that cruel to me again, and Addie has almost exactly the same thoughts at her mother's death. i felt that finally, someone understood me, and i had a little cry at that.
In the background of Addie's life is New York City. We see the city as it changes and grows. There was prohibition, two world wars, but mainly Diamant focuses on the way that things changed for women. Better medical care, birth control, the vote, women getting management positions; it was a fascinating time to be a woman.
I loved this book. I loved Addie and the characters in her life. I've already sought out the other Anita Diamant books on Everand, and they're all on my TBR list now, even the non-fiction ones about Jewish life. I can't wait to read more books by this supremely gifted author.… (más)
