This review is from: Bread Givers: A Struggle Between a Father of the Old World and a Daughter of the New (Paperback)

This is a turn of the century, Ghetto New York story but it's universal to all the world and all time. The story is rich & soul searching. A page turner. If you read it ask yourself have things changed that much. There are still many religions & cultures throughout the world where women are not treated fairly.

This review is from: Bread Givers: A Struggle Between a Father of the Old World and a Daughter of the New (Paperback)

the Bread Givers has an interesting storyline but is hard to follow because of Yezierska writes in some broken english at the beginning of the book. though this is also something i like because it makes you feel as if you are in the time and place of the book. any one who enjoys historical fiction might enjoy this book. this book is about the classic struggle between a daughter and her need to make her own future and a the father who wants her to live his way.
