Yes, you're right! I don't know wh...Hi Eva,<br />Yes, you're right! I don't know why it didn't occur to me to include the part about the real feel of desperation? You are helping bring out the good parts about a book review that I missed talking about. I know in my head what I want to say, and I say it to a degree, but I missed writing 'the feeling of desperation the two women both had'. You are right about that. You have taught me something with pointing things out like that, and I thank you! However, this book was just a 50/50 for me b/c I felt it took forever for things to work out. It took me forever to read this because it wasn't compelling enough for me to want to pick it back up again, and maybe I should have said that in the review because if you realized it was only 1935, those were STILL the stone ages for women! Only NOW are we 'starting' to really make marks! We STILL have areas we need to make better for ourselves, and hopefully NO ONE will take away the right to choose about our OWN bodies as is ALWAYS threatened! Essentially, we ARE still at the mercy of most MEN when it comes to that, too, STILL! We do NOT have enough women in Congress standing up for women's rights, and if I could, I WOULD do it, but in another lifetime if we get them! (I can't do anything like that with this neuro muscle disease) and especially this late in the game. I never would have made a good lawyer! I can't argue! I am glad about that, though! We don't need people angry and arguing but more people who care in this world!<br />Not loving this book probably didn't help that I didn't understand what the Jewish terms stood for, and perhaps if the author had a 'key' we could look at in front or in the back of the book that would have made the book feel more compelling for me, emotionally. I didn't want to keep having to look them up online, either, I just felt I should be able to enjoy what I was reading, but could not entirely.<br />You and I often feel and rate the same books differently! It's great to see that! If there were not people who did not agree about the same books, then reading could become boring when talking about it!<br />I appreciate your thoughts and stopping by! Now I get to come read your review! I'll be over!<br />Thanks!<br />Laurielauriehere.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09313379396004112698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261031256338113167.post-20501997708376556712016-05-03T14:38:15.037-04:002016-05-03T14:38:15.037-04:00Great review.
