The Girls with No Names
By Serena Burdick
I am so glad you all enjoyed this book . I too had enjoyed it and wanted to share it with my book club buddies. It was so nice to see everyone!!! I’m so sorry that I had technical difficulties. Thank you Maria R. for reading most of the questions and all of you for giving me a helping hand. I Love you guys!!!
Growing up in New York City in the 1910s, Luella and Effie realize that even as wealthy young women, their freedoms come with limits. When they discover a shocking secret about their father, Luella becomes emboldened to do as she pleases. Effie suspects her father has sent Luella to the House of Mercy and has herself committed to save her sister. Effie’s own escape seems impossible unless she can trust an enigmatic girl named Mable. They rely on each other to survive. Through the inherent cruelty of the world these characters inhabited, it made this an upsetting read at times. Although there was a consistent presence of hope and resilience. It portrayed a tale of hope, courage and sisterhood of the girls confined in the House of Mercy for daring to break the rules.
Wishing you all good health and staying safe,
With Love, Millie
