But her husband Max turns out to be twice her age, rigidly Orthodox, and living in a one-room sod hut in South Dakota with his two teenage sons. The country is desolate, the work treach

Shelves: literary-ish

The blurb on this is weird, because it makes this book sound like a coming-of-age romance. Instead, it's really more of a character portrait of a semi-unlikeable young woman. Minna is clearly going through the motions in her life, doing what is expected of her, and this is brilliantly reflected in the writing, which can come off stilted and almost suffocating at times. She is a selfish, often uncaring person, looking upon her surroundings and others as if from a distance, studying them almost as...more

A good solid 4.5. After I read Edan Lepucki’s review on GR a few months ago, I put this on my to-read list. Then a couple of weeks ago I heard the author discussing this on NPR and moved it to the top. Anna Solomon was talking about the historical background for her book, how Jewish pioneers in the 1800s were sent out to the West to homestead, inspired by the vision of creating “a new Palestine.” But alas, most had zero in the way of farming experience or training, no mentors to guide them or re...more

Anna Solomon is a dear friend of mine and I had the pleasure of reading and critiquing early draft of this.

A pretty interesting treatment of the immigrant experience: a teenage Ukrainian Jewish mail-order bride arrives in South Dakota to live in a dugout with her devout (if not devoted) groom and his two teenaged sons. I really appreciated this very different treatment of the midwestern immigrant experience and have to admit I had never considered what it would be like to be a Jewish pioneer in the Dakotas before reading this book.

From the Old World to the Old West: A review of The Little Bride

The Little Bride
Anna Solomon
314 pages, softcover: $15.
Riverhead, 2011.

Anna Solomon's fascinating first novel The Little Bride begins in Russia in the 1880s, when Minna Losk, a 16-year-old orphan, signs up to become a mail-order bride. After the death of her father, Minna worked for a while as a maid for a once-wealthy woman. Now, however, with pogroms against Jews increasing in number and intensity and little hope for a better life in Odessa, she decides to try her luck in America as the wife of a Jewish man she's never met.

Solomon's premise is irresistible as Minna embarks on a journey similar to those many real-life immigrant settlers made. Her sensuous writing transports the reader from Odessa's "acacias in full bloom, her lizards asleep in the last sun, the scent of tomato plants coming up off the piers" to the sickness and filth of the voyage to America, the ship's floor "slick with vomit." Minna lands in New York, which feels "like being in the middle of a parade where everyone has been called home, all at once, in all different directions."

Minna dreams of finding a young husband and enjoying the bustle and community of city life. Instead, her spouse, Max, turns out to be an "old" man of 40, who lives in a sod hut in South Dakota, where a group of Jewish settlers who'd never farmed before are struggling to make a go of it on the harsh prairie.

Minna also becomes the stepmother to two teenage sons, one of whom she's attracted to, a complication that leads both of them into uncomfortable moral territory. Max is Orthodox to a degree that is impractical on the frontier, letting hail destroy a wheat crop because he refuses to harvest on the Sabbath. Ruth, a neighbor, counsels Minna. Try to love Max, she urges, to which Minna replies, "I barely know him." Ruth shoots back, "And you think you are original in this?"

The bitter South Dakota winter leaves the family snowed in and on the verge of starving. At the end, the plot takes a few improbable turns involving a circus wagon that happens by and a case of love at first sight. Still, The Little Bride remains a riveting journey -- an intensely imagined reconstruction of what life might have been like for many women pioneers.(less)

Yet, the desolate environment provides an appealing backdrop for characters to test their mettle and authors to explore the themes of freedom and perseverance.
What Anna Solomon has accomplished in her debut novel, THE LITTLE BRIDE, is to take the familiar mail-order bride in the American Pioneer West story and add interesting twists based on little known, but actual, historical facts, such as the role of Jewish European settlers in the Great Plains. Her mail-order bride is a sixteen-year-old Ukrainian Jewish orphan from Odessa. She has been abandoned by her mother, left orphaned after her father’s death, and taken in to become the housekeeper to an unstable, older woman.
The novel begins with Minna’s unsavory ‘inspection’ by the organizers of the mail-order bride exchange. The first hundred pages were frankly uncomfortable to read, with innuendoes of sexual abuse, an instance of graphic animal cruelty, and a brutal rape. All of which felt more manipulative of the reader’s emotions than plot points necessary to move the story forward, since none of the incidents seemed to make any impact on the protagonist.
When Minna eventually reaches America and makes her way to her future husband and his mud-flat home in the Dakotas, she finds that she is to be married to a man more than twice her age, who is an inept farmer and the father of two sons, one of whom she will eventually fall in love with.
The traditional pioneer story might lead us to expect that THE LITTLE BRIDE will eventually find Minna overcoming the obstacles of her environment to build a successful life on the farm with her husband or the stepson who is closer to her in age. However, this novel is more about personal freedom than personal growth and it reads more like a contemporary, metropolitan coming of age story about self-empowerment than historical fiction. Especially given the protagonist’s self-centered actions, which would have been unrealistic in early farming settlements when cooperative behavior was necessary for survival.
Perhaps the strangest aspect of THE LITTLE BRIDE only occurred to me on reflection: this may be the first book I’ve read where the hero’s impact on every character she meets leaves them worse off. That’s generally the consequence of meeting a villain. But it also explains why I didn’t connect with this book. While in the end Minna does attain personal freedom, she never develops the compassion for others that marks true self-growth, her freedom comes at the expense of others. And for that reason, the novel feels incomplete and sadly unsatisfying. In the end, Minna seemed like a smart girl from the Big City dropped onto the Great Plains without a moral compass.(less)

Yes, they'd go to a big city for work here and there, but people didn't just leave the birthright that was their home town the way they do in America (in the past half century, anyw...more

Minna Losk is a sixteen-year-old girl who works as a maid-servant in the poverty of Odessa. After a hard beginning in work and in life, Minna learns she is to go to America as a mail-order bride. To do so, she must present herself for a full physical before leaving the country and heading to the “free” shores, and that one moment alone is enough to scare anyone to death. But Minna is determined to find a better life, as she gets on the boat and soon finds herself locked in a horrific journey across the sea

Upon arrival, a sense of renewed faith appears in Minna’s soul, and she is so thankful to finally be in the land that she has dreamed about for so long. Minna is so looking forward to a kind, loving husband, wealth, and a place to call home where she can be happy and raise her children.

As with all things in life, Minna quickly finds that her husband, Max, is far older than she is, and didn’t even have the decency to break away from work to pick her up and escort her to her new home. In fact, it is Max’s younger brother who arrives - a handsome, truly lovely young man - who immediately tries to make Minna feel at home.

Upon arriving at their destination in South Dakota, Minna finds a rigid Orthodox man who certainly doesn’t seem to like Minna’s Jewish heritage one bit; yet with her fair skin and blue eyes, she seems to pass his inspection. The house is one-room and is a complete mess. So much for the wealth. And the hard work that Minna must put in every day is more like the work required of a slave, not a wife. Add to that the desolate country and very rude townspeople, and Minna soon finds that all her dreams of America were completely false, and she is now stuck in a situation even worse than the one she left back home.

The author does an outstanding job of showing every aspect of history, and how incredibly difficult and frightening it was to be a mail-order bride. Hearts will go out to Minna as they watch this young girl fall in love with another, and find the strength and power to keep her head above water in a world that is forcing her to drown.

This is a powerful debut with a lovely romance, as well as a very real tale of poverty and dreams that turn into nightmares.

Her mother abandoned her father and her, and her father lives a tortured life between forgetting and memories that affect Minna until she lives her entire life surviving loss. Things are not much better after her father dies and she is shipped off to relatives and then a family who present as haunting, dysfunctional, and even mentally ill people. Her job is to be a serving girl. But lest one judge too quickly, these are Jewish people who live through the late 1800s pogroms in Odessa and other Russian towns. Waiting to be brutally attacked day after day after day could stretch any one's sanity to the limit!

Then Minna has the opportunity to become an American bride to an unknown man South Dakota. The journey overseas to her new home is fraught with watching people die from seasickness and starvation, with additional violent scenes to scar even the toughest character. It turns out she is about to marry into a home where the first wife has also abandoned the family, finding the wild West far too much for her grand ideas of living in America. Max's two sons, Sam and Jacob, believe Minna can never understand their past life. Their relationship is odd as they are closer in age to Minna and Max is twice her age and a religious Jew whose family believed he was going to become a famous Rabbi someday!

Minna typifies the harsh brutal life of a farmer's wife meant to help eke out a living on unyielding land, with no money to put into bettering a farm that is really not a farm. Suddenly a relationship develops between Minna and one of the sons, and secrets begin to be revealed.

While the plot seems fairly straight and even simplistic or stereotypical, there is nothing of that because of the way in which Anna Solomon takes the reader into Minna's mind, spinning stark and literate reflections with a tortured reality that defies one's idea of how much can be endurable. The Little Bride is a highly literate, uniquely lyrical account about the Jewish immigrant experience in a harsh American frontier that respects no gender, culture, or class. Remarkable novel!

But, I am sorry to say I did not enjoy reading it. I did not care for the characters, and I don't think the foul language was necessary.

In some respects the story reminded me of the novel, Away by Amy Bloom. Only because it was the hardships the character went through when she came to NYC. But, I think I liked the characters better.

Little Bride, I kept thinking of Little House on the Praire. I kept seeing this in my head while I was reading it. There wasn't substance to the characters, and one dimensional. I did enjoy some of the writing though. Hense I gave it the extra star. I was expecting more from Little Bride. Hopefully, her next novel will have more depth.

The book was too predictable, most novels I like to read I want to learn something new. There was not anything I did not know. Per Little Bride, is about a young girl, Minna she is 16 years old. She is coming across America to marry a man, Max in arranged Jewish marriage. She dreams that life will be better in America. But, she is dissappointed to find the man she is to marry is much older than her, orthodox, with little money. He is a older man, with two teenage boys, her age. She falls for one of his son's Samuel. Life is hard, and desolute in the winter, and very hard work she doesn't realize she must do to survive.

The author was inspired to write this because a little known history. Of Jews going to the mid west to make something of themselves, called Am Olam.

Am Olan movement began in the 1880's, Jews that came over to the new world. If they went to the mid west they would not meet the same anti semitism they had in Europe. It was a communal type setting, to build another life. The wealthier Jews were glad to see the poor Jews in this areas. They were embarrassed of them. (less)

Thousands of Jewish families immigrant families settled on farm colonies during this period.
