Negative Positive
Title: A compelling, historic novel
Review: I've finally gotten the chance to read this book after many recommendations. It was rather hard to put down, with its compelling plot line, memorable characters, and poignant moments. What I found most interesting was its historic portrayal of Brooklyn as a growing neighborhood and home to European immigrants during the early 20th century -- where the beginning of a developing "American" political and cultural identity affected the lives of those such as our main character, Francie Nolan.
