Title: Very interesting
Product review: In 1690, Gluckel of Hameln decided to write her memoirs, intending to have them read only by her children. She was an unknown woman then, and is known today only because she wrote her memoirs. Reading her memoirs gives one a chance to see the life of common (yet somewhat upper class) people. She talks about having fourteen children, working with her husband buying and selling seed pearls, how the Jews lived in northern Germany, how she viewed reactions to Shabbatai Tzvi the false messiah, arranging matches for her children, traveling, etc. After my Jewish women's book discussion book read it, we all agreed that we did not find the book an easy or enjoyable read, but we all felt that it was very interesting.
