The writing was excellent but the story — and I'm sorry to write this about a classic — was not compelling to me. It was a sad tale of a young girl's life in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. I'm not a fan of sad.

I haven’t read many books based in the early 1900s, so it was nice to read this lil slice of life. It’s not very exciting, but it was certainly interesting
