Classified by the publisher as "semi-autobiographical", this is the story of a girl from an immigrant orthodox Jewish family from the ghettos of early 20th century NYC who sets out to become a "person". She matches her will against the hurdles set before her by family, neighborhood and society.
I've had this book on my shelf forever and I just finally got around to reading it. I can't say that I loved it, but it was interesting and I'm glad that I finally finished it.
