I just adored this book. I am a sucker for a well told story and this was many stories all in one until it erupted into a beautiful tale of immigrant lives intersecting and confronting monsters. And the monsters.... aren't what you are expecting.
A story about love but not a love story. A tale of loss, and dreams, and lost dreams. But most of all, a turn of the century history of people fighting against a world that wants to control them and keep them in their preconceived roles, to burst free and make a life worth living.
