Hungry Hearts by Anzia Yezierska
These ten short stories record the tragedies and triumphs of life for a Jewish immigrant woman, growing up in poverty on New York's Lower East Side at the beginning of the 20th century.
Anzia Yezierska (1882-1970) was born in Poland and came to the Lower East Side of New York with her family in 1890 when she was nine years old. By the 1920s she had risen out of poverty and become a successful writer of stories, novels; all autobiographical; and an autobiography, Red Ribbon on a White Horse. Her novel Bread Givers is considered a classic of Jewish American fiction. Her acclaimed books also include How I Found America: Collected Stories and The Open Cage.
