There were sections that seemed to link better than others, but overall I felt like Pearl’s inclusion in the story was a little like mismatched socks.

I had so many conflicting feelings while reading this book. The cultural aspects of historic Chicago were as true as they were heart breaking, and I loved the way Ruby portrayed it. The writing was lovely, truly wonderful and I felt like I was in the world while reading.
