A review by abbythompson
The Romance Reader by Pearl Abraham

3.0

An interesting insight into the generational divide and subsequent conflict of a young girl coming of age in an Hassidic community in New York State. I wanted to like Rachel more and feel more connected to her story, but her situations was so frequently unsympathetic. The people surrounding her were so selfish and cruel that it was impossible to find much that redeemed any of them and therefore empathize with Rachel.

A good read, but not a great one.
