The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a wonderful historical fiction book which covers the life of Addie Baum as told to her granddaughter in 1985. Addie was born in 1900 and lived in Boston with her Jewish immigrant parents and two older sisters. It is a character-driven story of Addie wanting to explore the world, go to school and college, and make a life for herself outside of the small apartment and neighborhood she grew up in. Although it deals with some very serious subjects, they are dealt with compassion and understanding. I'm looking forward to discussing this book next week at book club.
