Audacity by Melanie Crowder is truly a lovely book. Clara Lemlich, the protagonist of the story, is a determined young Jewish woman. In the beginning of the novel, she lives in Russia with her family. She plays the role that is expected of her, but secretly works on her studies and hopes of something more. When she moves to America with her family, she doesn't give up on her dreams. America is a place where her dreams and hopes can become a reality. But will it be that easy? Is it even a possibility? Will she succeed?
As some of you may know by looking at my posts on our social media page (@readingisinevitable on Instagram), I am currently reading Audacity by Melanie Crowder. It is a beautiful book written in free verse, and follows the life of Clara Lemlich, a female Jewish immigrant who came to America in the early 1900s. (For the full summary of the book, click here .) I absolutely love books written in free verse, or any type of poetry, in fact! This book is so lovely that I have decided to dedicate a whole post to some of my favorite quotes or parts! (Note: I am only on page 294, and there are 366 pages, not including the extra content at the end of my local library's copy.)
