Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-24 00:00:00 Jewelrit Stewart My mom bought me this book and claimed she did not know it was about lesbians. Um, check out the author's last name…

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-30 00:00:00 Eva Fernandez I thought this was a lesbian romance novel but it's not. It's a beautiful and heart-wrenching novel that describes the life journey of jewish lesbian women at the turning of the 20th century. The fact that the women happen to be lesbians is a beautiful secondary layer to the story. The main focus of te author is to describe the rampant and generalised anti-semitism, sexism, racism and classism that existed at the time both in EU and the US. It is a great novel and a beautiful surprise.
