Book Reviews of Up from Orchard Street
Book Review: Charming social history/memoir
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this story charming and enlightening regarding the Jewish immigrant experience in NYC in the 1930's. I came to love the characters and was sad when the book ended because I felt like I knew the characters personally. I loved the way the author combined a partial memoir and a social history of the times. Definitely worth reading or giving as a gift. Would make a great movie!
