The Boston Girl, by Anita Diamant

3.0

This book is a hard one for me to review. A real page turner - I read it all in less than 2 days! However written in an odd format - a monologue from grandmother to grand-daughter, telling her life story. Not sure it couldn't have been written in a different point of view but you get used to it. It is odd that a "speaking" novel has no dialogue but if you can put that aside, it's an interesting personal 20th century story of American Jewish family, Addie, the protagonist is 1st generation American, her 2 older sisters born before their arrival. An easy to read look at immigration, tradition, women, politics and family.
