Breaking Boundaries: Two Women Defy Expectations Between Wars

This novel spans the time period between the near end of World War I to the unstable pre-war years of 1930s Europe. It is a time of limited choices for women but the two protagonists of this story stretch the boundaries of what was expected of them and most certainly, what were considered acceptable paths.

I think that perhaps the word luminous, in itself a beautiful word, is overused. However, in the case of Dani Shapiro’s latest memoir, it feels like the only true description. She emits light in her darkest moments. Her writing shimmers with thought, ...more
