This is a fascinating tale not sure if it is for all. Kate Simon wrote this in 1982 about growing up Jewish in Bronx and she was born in 1912 and died in 1990 in NYC. Its quite disturbing about her relationship with her parents and brother. This is a child who will have to fight to maintain her path herSelf. Various people tried to use her sexually and these people are family. Her father she says was early maybe later yes involved sexually with his niece who he brought to US from Warsaw Poland.
Kate became a known writer and this was first of three part tale of her growing up. Finishing this book I am waiting for second from our SF Public Library - A Wider World.
This is a very good book. She had to take on her own life without getting family support. This is a very good book and I look forward to the second book which is about her high school years and I know the school James Monroe HS
I grew up in Brooklyn and Brooklyn and Bronx are suburbs of Manhattan.
I thank Carol Flanagan for talking about this book.
