Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-15 00:00:00 Max Pin This is a collection of short stories by Anzia Yezierska, of whom I was a die-hard fan in my early 20's. I liked her novels better, but all her writing is the same: set amongst Jews of the Lower East Side and featuring a female protagonist desperate to get out. The best and longest story in this collection is "The Fat of the Land," and it won "Best Short Story of 1920" and was made into a film. But the quote I remember best was from another of her stories about heartbreak: "I've breathed the air from the high places where love comes from, and I can't no more come down."

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-05 00:00:00 John Handelaar There aren't enough stars to rate this work and I don't think this is a work that should be rated. I will however give it the highest number in the currently popular star rating system, FIVE. Attaching stars to this book though feels like I'm sullying her and her author. If I were told that I could only have ten books for the rest of my life, this would be one of them.
