Bread Givers

Bread Givers is a very well written novel by Anzia Yezierska. However, I have not enjoyed it as much as I'd like to. This may be due to the fact that I have an extremely hard time relating to Sara and her family. I live a complete opposite life from her and it takes away from the story's meaning. If I was in a position more similar to hers then maybe I would enjoy the book more. Nevertheless, it is a great story about a poor, Jewish family trying to make a name for themselves in New York City.
