Meer over het boek

Set in the 1920s on Manhattan's Lower East Side, the narrative follows Sara Smolinsky, the youngest daughter of an Orthodox rabbi, as she challenges her father's strict views on Jewish womanhood. Her journey toward independence and self-fulfillment highlights a universal struggle against societal expectations. This masterwork of American immigrant literature not only captures the essence of Sara's rebellion but also serves as an essential historical work with lasting significance.
