3.75 stars!
Loved the setting of this book in 1917. It was interesting to experience women’s suffrage in New York at that time at a time when it was still so segregated. I loved that the love story involved a strong black woman, who was a cabaret owner. She had no rights and couldn’t vote and yet she ran her own business. Interesting things happen when she gets in a pickle and hires an illegal immigrant, Amir and they are forced to work together. Amir works hard breaking down Bertha’s hard walls that she’s built out of necessity and survival in times of intense struggle and oppression.
In true Alyssa Cole fashion I always come away enlightened and educated on things I didn’t quite know before. Love her books.
