First, I would like to thank my mother and the ladies of Delray Beach, Florida for recommending Joshua, A Brooklyn Tale. As I read the book over the summer I thought it would be a wonderful consideration for the "Bookworms"!
I also have to thank Robin L. for reminding me about The New City Kosher Deli. There is nothing like a delicious bowl of chicken matzoh ball soup and overstuffed pastrami/corn beef sandwiches to cure all that ails you!!
This story traces the lives of the three main characters Rachel, Paul, and Joshua in Crown Heights, Brooklyn during turbulent times. As their lives become more intertwined we read about deep love, hopeless love, romantic love and about desperation and acceptance. Parental expectations weigh heavily on the decisions of each character.
I am so glad everyone seemed to enjoy this book!
See you on February 8th.
Happy Reading!
Jill
