Salome of the Tenements (Radical Novel Reconsidered)

Rating:
Summary: Not on par with the rest of Yezierska's work
Review: Salome is a very uplifting novel. The characters are well developed and the plot is interesting, however, Yezierska relies on a far-fetched outcome. While this is an enjoyable read, I wasn't as touched as I was with Bread Givers and Yezierska's other works. The love story relies on overdone and sometimes cheesy themes that are predictable, although interesting.

For those who love Yezierska, this is something you should definitely read. For newcomers, I feel that BreadGivers would be more gripping.
