Book Review | I admire this author's creativity in weaving serious topics, including racism, misogyny, homophobia, murder, and political persecution, into another gripping story of human relationships. I really enjoyed reading about the true historical aspects from the point of view of the women renting rooms in a boardinghouse. It was fascinating to think that my mother was a college graduate in the same era as McCarthyism, and like one of the characters in the novel, she too quit when she got married because it was expected. And sadly, going on 71 years later, history is still repeating. |
