PRAISE FOR
Pamela Schoenewaldt
“A beautifully rendered and poignant family drama that teems with the life of early twentieth-century America. . . . Schoenewaldt has given us a whole universe between the covers of this book.”
—DANA SACHS,
author of The Secret of the Nightingale Palace on Swimming in the Moon
“Lush with historical detail. . . . Pamela Schoenewaldt delivers another novel full of richly realized characters who transport us to the immigrant neighborhoods of early twentieth-century America.”
—JESSICA BROCKMOLE,
author of Letters from Skye on Swimming in the Moon
“What’s at the heart of this beautiful book is not the romance between Lucia and Henryk . . . or even Lucia’s passion for social justice and her work for the unions; it’s the relationship between mother and daughter.”
—PATRICIA HARMAN,
author of The Midwife of Hope River on Swimming in the Moon
“As a reader and frequent reviewer I long for this kind of lovely prose. A cut above.”
—CAROLLY ERICKSON,
author of The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette on When We Were Strangers
“Readable and engaging. . . . This is a story that is not finished simply because the reader has reached the last page—a memorable novel.”
—NANCY E. TURNER,
author of These Is My Words on When We Were Strangers
“Schoenewaldt’s heartbreaking debut is the late 19th century immigrant coming-of-age story of poor, plain Irma Vitale. . . . Irma’s adventures and redeeming evolution make this a serious book club contender.”
