This was a fascinating look at the life of an immigrant family in the 1920's living in New York City. Their life was very hard which made the story very bleak and oppressive. This is a wonderful study of the challenge with many immigrants in how do you live in a new country and still keep your culture alive? How do your children assimilate without losing their identity from the old country? As sad as the story was most of the time the main character was engaging enough to keep me turning the pages to see how she lives out her life.
