The Tin Horse: A Novel de Janice Steinberg
Great book. A real story that helped me understand the complex dynamics of a family and a culture from pre WWII times.
This book was a flop for me. I would've given it one star but I did enjoy learning about the real-life Jewish community Boyle Heights in California in the 1930's. There are so many unlikeable characters, and so much thoughtless betrayal in this family. The ending I was waiting for was accomplished in just a few final pages and I'm like, what the hell? That's it? Bah, I won't say much more to prevent spoilers but the end made me furious. I don't expect every story to end happily but this was just ridiculous. I would not recommend.… (més)
Not ready to rate or review...but, I would not compare it to A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". That's a publishers blurb I'm sure. This book can stand on its own, but might not get read if they didn't use some gimmick to get folks to buy it.
