I read Ruth Behar's Lucky Broken Girl and enjoyed it so I was excited to read this new book. It's the story of four girls throughout the ages and is the story of the Sephardic Jewish diaspora. Each part of the book was a story unto itself and also had a lot of details on place and time. And of course continuity with a touching end. I think readers will enjoy the story and also be sparked to learn more about Jewish history. The only thing that could have made it better would have been some recipes at the end! I got hungry just reading this book. But Behar has a lengthy afterward and lists resources so the avid reader can dig even deeper.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. It's the kind of book both adults and children will enjoy.

This lyrical story follows the story of four different girls in four different parts of the world in four different time periods. Wow, what a journey. You are going to love each of these young ladies as they contribute their part to their family’s history.
