Reply To: TBC: Kate Quinn says she “really wanted to look at a microcosm of the issues that are hitting women in the early 1950s.”
Nora resonated with me the most. The issues she faced with family, her role and responsibilities within the family unit and her struggle to define her boundaries within. I also resonated with her philosophy of being “the kind of person who only has to hear it once to learn.”
Many of the other issues that this book touched on also resonated with me: domestic violence, immigrant issues, racism are a few of the issues I’ve faced, or have been faced by members of my family.
Thanks, everyone, for providing so much insight into this book and for sharing so much of yourselves here. I appreciate you all.
