Book Synopsis The Boston Girl by : Anita Diamant
Download or read book The Boston Girl written by Anita Diamant. This book was released on 2014-12-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller! An unforgettable novel about a young Jewish woman growing up in Boston in the early twentieth century, told “with humor and optimism…through the eyes of an irresistible heroine” (People)—from the acclaimed author of The Red Tent. Anita Diamant’s “vivid, affectionate portrait of American womanhood” (Los Angeles Times), follows the life of one woman, Addie Baum, through a period of dramatic change. Addie is The Boston Girl, the spirited daughter of an immigrant Jewish family, born in 1900 to parents who were unprepared for America and its effect on their three daughters. Growing up in the North End of Boston, then a teeming multicultural neighborhood, Addie’s intelligence and curiosity take her to a world her parents can’t imagine—a world of short skirts, movies, celebrity culture, and new opportunities for women. Addie wants to finish high school and dreams of going to college. She wants a career and to find true love. From the one-room tenement apartment she shared with her parents and two sisters, to the library group for girls she joins at a neighborhood settlement house, to her first, disastrous love affair, to finding the love of her life, eighty-five-year-old Addie recounts her adventures with humor and compassion for the naïve girl she once was. Written with the same attention to historical detail and emotional resonance that made Diamant’s previous novels bestsellers, The Boston Girl is a moving portrait of one woman’s complicated life in twentieth century America, and a fascinating look at a generation of women finding their places in a changing world. “Diamant brings to life a piece of feminism’s forgotten history” (Good Housekeeping) in this “inspirational…page-turning portrait of immigrant life in the early twentieth century” (Booklist).

Book Synopsis Single Jewish Male Seeking Soul Mate by : Letty Cottin Pogrebin
Download or read book Single Jewish Male Seeking Soul Mate written by Letty Cottin Pogrebin. This book was released on 2015-05-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel “unflinchingly confronts the issue of Jewish continuity in a diverse and changing America” (Anne Roiphe, author and journalist). Feminist icon Letty Cottin Pogrebin’s second novel is the story of Zach Levy, the left-leaning son of Holocaust survivors who promises his mother on her deathbed that he will marry within the tribe and raise Jewish children. When he falls for Cleo Scott, an African American activist grappling with her own inherited trauma, he must reconcile his old vow to the family he loves with the present reality of the woman who may be his soul mate. A New York love story complicated by the legacies and modern tensions of Jewish American and African American history, Single Jewish Male Seeking Soul Mate explores what happens when the heart runs counter to politics, history, and the compelling weight of tradition. “A beautifully written and heartwarming masterpiece.” —Menachem Z. Rosensaft, founding chair of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors “Cleareyed, courageous.” —Kirkus Reviews
