A timeless American novel about an immigrant girl growing up on the
Lower East Side who dares to challenge her Orthodox Jewish
family’s narrow conceptions of a woman’s place in the world,
featuring a new foreword by the author of the New York Times
bestseller Unorthodox―the basis for the hit Netflix series―and
cover art by New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck A Penguin Classic
The youngest of four daughters in a family that left Poland in the
1920s for the crowded tenements of New York City’s Lower East
Side, Sara Smolinsky has seen her sisters resign themselves, under
their rabbi father’s iron fist, to loveless marriages and empty
futures. They are “bread givers,” working to feed the family
while their father studies the Torah―according to which, as their
father reminds them, a woman without her father or husband is
“less than nothing.” But Sara hungers for more. In defiance of
her father, she breaks free, escaping home to see what the American
dream holds for her in this poignant coming-of-age tale and
striking portrait of feminist rebellion.
