What a find! There are terms, phrases and themes in this book that are not politically correct in today's age. And that's okay! You don't have to be a die-hard feminist to relate to this story. You don't have to agree with socialism, or capitalism to relate to this story. You don't have to be Jewish or approve of how this family lives their Judaism to relate to this story. I think we all are multidimensional; and like Fanny, can't be pigeonholed with labels.
I enjoyed the descriptive writing, the "old fashioned" style. I got the ending I was hoping for...I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know this powerhouse, this Jewish author that created some of the most memorable stories and movies for Hollywood.

I've never read Edna Ferber either, though I've heard her name forever. Thanks for highlighting her work! I'll give it a go.
