Summary: well-written, memoir-like, great story!
Comment: I really enjoyed this book, it was well-written and good about including relevant cultural perspectives while being subtle. It was fast and easy read and you really felt for the main character. I had to read it for school.

Summary: Bread Givers
Comment: I really enjoyed Bread Givers by Anzia Yezierska. It was a book that I felt that others might be able to relate to. Bread Givers was a riveting read that I did not want to have to put down. It answered many questions thatI had about Jewish Life in the early 1900s, but it left many questions unanswered. I would definetly reccomend Bread Givers to any one that is interested in reaidng a book about fairly new immigrents struggling to live in New York at the turn of the 20th century.

Summary: Sara is a great character
Comment: I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in America. Told at a time when America was more innocent yet the dark clouds, the roots of todays hegenomy, were gathering. Bread Givers is a largely autobiographical story of one woman's struggle to make a life for herself despite a time and place that conspire against her. Like the author Anzia Yezierska, Sara Smolinsky, the daughter of poor Russian-Jewish immigrants fights against the tyranny of her father, a rabbi, and his old-world beliefs in order to become a self-reliant person. In a broader sense, she also struggles against the social norms of the early twentieth century. Her journey is full of hardship and surprises, not the least of which is that...not to give it away. Sara is a character which is so full of life and vitality she seems to leep from the page. I wonder if Sara is a proto-type to characters seen in later fiction, espcially science-fiction of the early sixties.
