Growing up in the North End, then a teeming multicultural neighborhood, Addies intelligence and curiosity take her to a world her parents cant imaginea world of short skirts, movies, celebrity culture, and new opportunities for women. Addie wants to finish high school and dreams of going to college. She wants a career and to find true love.Eightyfiveyearold Addie tells the story of her life to her twentytwoyearold granddaughter, who has asked her How did you get to be the woman you are today. She begins in 1915, the year she found her voice and made friends who would help shape the course of her life. From the oneroom tenement apartment she shared with her parents and two sisters, to the library group for girls she joins at a neighborhood settlement house, to her first, disastrous love affair, Addie recalls her adventures with compassion for the nave girl she was and a wicked sense of humor.Written with the same attention to historical detail and emotional resonance that made Anita Diamants previous novels bestsellers, The Boston Girl is a moving portrait of one womans complicated life in twentieth century America, and a fascinating look at a generation of women finding their places in a changing world.
