The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant

The Boston Girl: A Novel

This is one of those novels that you hate to see end.
Diamant uses the voice of the grandmother (The Boston Girl) talking to her granddaughter to propel the story.
Beginning in 1915 and moving forward to 1987, the novel captures what it was like to be a female during that period.
This is a book about life, its joys, sorrows, hardships, friendships, family.

Diamant writes beautifully here as she has done in previous novels.

'you never looked at me with anything but love: no pity, no judgment………you made it possible for me to forgive myself’

This is one of those novels that stays with you long after the last page has been read.

I received this novel from the publisher, Simon and Schuster in exchange for an honest and fair review.
