The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant | Digest & Review
Activists fought for an end to child labor. Women secretly shared pamphlets about contraceptives. At the height of prohibition, patrons at certain cafes drank whiskey from teapots. Born in 1900, Addie Baum formed an identity separate from her traditional upbringing during a time of worldwide change. Now, at age eighty-five, Addie tells her granddaughter about her life and the times in which she lived, from the moment she joined a library group for girls through to her eighty-fifth birthday. She describes the influences which shaped her and, ultimately, how she became who she is. Anita Diamant, the author of Day After Night and The Red Tent, writes with honesty and compassionin her new novel The Boston Girl, making the characters and era vividly present.
