Deborah and Miriam, young Jewish girls vacationing in Massachusetts the summer of 1910, are immediately attracted to one another. As they explore their intense connection, they face challenges in their families, community, religion, and within themselves. These young women are products of turn-of-the-century values yet fall in love, a rarely accepted behavior in post-Victorian America. They explore ways to fit into a culture that is unforgiving of the choices they make, discovering what it means to be lesbian in a world which is not ready for them.
I inhaled this book!! It is beautifully written with the photographs interspersed as if the story were a biography. Ellen found a photo of a beautiful dress, and there it is, described in the narrative.The historical detail about the Berkshires, Boston, New York City, and the differing observances of Jewish religion and culture in the various families make this book a very interesting read. All of this is set in 1910, in a sensitively-told touching love story.
