Leaving Lucy Pear | Anna Solomon
post image

From my review on Great New Books: "Leaving Lucy Pear sheds light on the Jewish experience in America, touches on cultural expectations, hinges on gender roles and women who go against the grain. A mix of intrigue and insight, betrayal and trust, the story draws you in immediately and lingers long after you reach the end."

ForestAvenuePress Sounds great! 8y

Listened to the audio version of the book every second I had--such a lovely story made even better by the actors who read. I didn't want it to end!

"A time comes in every man's life when he decides what sort of man he is going to be. . . . And if you don't know the story, you don't know the man." A great road-trip read!

So many reasons to love this book. So many pages that spark ideas for essays I didn't even know I wanted to write.

Just finished this lovely book with my daughter. The cover made me buy it; the mystery kept me reading. MommyDaughterBooks #KidLit
