When We Were Strangers
When We Were Strangers: A Novel | Pamela Schoenewaldt
“The people as real as your own family, and the tale realistic enough to be any American’s.” —Nancy E. Turner, author of These is My Words A moving, powerful, and evocative debut novel, When We Were Strangers by Pamela Schoenewaldt heralds the arrival of superb new voice in American fiction. A tale rich in color, character, and vivid historical detail, it chronicles the tumultuous life journey of a young immigrant seamstress, as she travels from her isolated Italian mountain village through the dark corners of late nineteenth century America. A historical novel that readers of Geraldine Brooks, Nancy Turner, Frances de Pontes Peebles, and Debra Dean will most certainly cherish, When We Were Strangers will live in the mind and the heart long after its last page is turned.

Today is one of those rainy early fall days that makes you want to spend all day in bed reading. I compiled a list of some of my favorite cozy reads, which includes this historical novel by Pamela Schoenwaldt. It starts out in the mountains of Italy and ends at the California coast, tackling issues like women‘s rights and immigration along the way. See more recommendations on the blog. - A

Made it to page 60; couldn't make myself read any further. I love historical fic, but this seemed dry and without heart.
