New York in the 1920s? I am there for that! I'm a big fan of the whole flapper, speakeasy, Louise Brooks era. I really liked Zia, the main character, & seeing her develop from being a quiet woman older than her years & only interested in raising her son, to a more confident modern woman was wonderful. The book starts out at quite a slow pace, but once The Orchid Hour becomes involved, the story picks up. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf There's highlighting of the xenophobia that Italian-Americans faced in America in the 1920s, & the rise of organised crime via the subverting of Prohibition laws. I swear you can almost hear Humphrey Bogart giving a voice over as you read it. One of the best books I've read this year. 5🌟

TWs: xenophobia, gun violence, murder.

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Lume Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC. 2y
