Staff Picks:
From Tricia: I really enjoyed this novel by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Connie Schultz. It is a warm and absorbing book that looks at the lives of several generations of working class women (and the men in their lives) in a small town in Ohio. The book mostly revolves around Ellie, who comes of age in the 1950s and finds herself living a very different life than she had planned. Like Dominicana by Angie Cruz, which I also read recently, this book is loosely based on the life of the author’s mother and I love the way both books pay tribute to women whose stories aren’t often told. Both Ellie and her husband Brick could have come across as stereotypes if their story had been told by someone who hadn't herself grown up in a working class family in small town Ohio. But their lives, their strengths, and their flaws are written with a great deal of empathy. This is a big-hearted book that gives a glimpse into a time and place that I didn’t know much about. I’m glad I read it. Daughters of Erietown is available on Libby/Overdrive and at the Library.
