A Must Read!

This book was recommended to me by a friend and, as a high school world history teacher, let me just say that this book is fabulous. It is such a beautiful convergence of gender & socioeconomic issues, while also addressing immigration and workers rights problems of the period. The characters are realistic and endearing and the history is accurate and engaging. Definitely worth your time!
