pick4⭐️ Really liked this book; it would have been higher if the scenes from the 1950s were just as the ones that were about Maria‘s past. The story was not at all like the movie and Maria‘s story was much more compelling than the musical would lead one to believe. #2025 #biographicalfiction #fiction #1920s #1930s #historicalfiction

A history lesson with many names you will want to look up to find out what part they played in America‘s history of unions and civil liberties.
Murder mixed with laughter make this book an historical page turner.

This quote made me think of a story my mom told me, about her aunt having a permanent wave (with one of these machines!) She was so thrilled with it, she couldn‘t stop brushing her hair, until she‘d brushed out all the wave. Maybe that would have worked for Freda.
I enjoyed the book, but all I can say is, not one character was better off for having known Mr. Knight. 😏
