Ths GoodReads "thing" has inspired me to join the book club again, which runs January - April. The book is the first in a series of historical fiction selections that have been chosen for the monthly gathering.
This book is an relatively easy read at only 235 pages. It's based in the early part of the 20th century in the Yiddish theater community in NYC. The central character is a middle aged Russian Jewish immigrant, who is subsequently exploited on a number of levels. However, her experience is not a one way street, there are certain things that she gets in return.
She has suffered a number of challenges and continues to choose life and survival. Some of the prose are a bit mundane, but some metaphors are terrific. I know that some people love this book, it's a touching story, but the jacket describes it as epic, I'm not sure I agree.
