I really wanted to love this book - having finished Devil in the White City, I was looking for something similar, something that straddled the line between non-fiction and fiction. But I was disappointed in this book. It's an interesting story, and has plenty to share about classism, immigration, and independence, but I just wanted more depth of detail. It was hard to tell if it was truth or fiction - I can imagine it being difficult to fact check considering the time period, but I did expect it to be more informed.

A good, easy read.
