When Addie Baum's 22-year old granddaughter asks her about her childhood, Addie realises the moment has come to relive the full history that shaped her. Addie Baum was a Boston Girl, born in 1900 to immigrant Jewish parents who lived a very modest life. But Addie's intelligence and curiosity propelled her to a more modern path. Addie wanted to finish high school and to go to college. She wanted a career, to find true love. She wanted to escape the confines of her family. And she did. Told against the backdrop of World War I, and written with the same immense emotional impact that has made Diamant's previous novels bestsellers, The Boston Girl is a moving portrait of one woman's complicated life in the early 20th Century, and a window into the lives of all women seeking to understand the world around them.

'A gripping story of a young Jewish woman growing up in early-20th-century Boston... A stunning look into the past with a plucky heroine readers will cheer for' --Publishers Weekly
'Diamant offers impeccable descriptions of Boston life during those early years of the 20th century and creates a loving, caring lead character who grows in front of our eyes' --Library Journal
'A resonant portrait of a complex woman.... In addition to providing a graphic, page-turning portrait of immigrant life in the early twentieth century, Diamant's novel is an inspirational read that is likely to be a popular book-club choice' --Booklist
'Enjoyable fiction with a detailed historical backdrop' --Kirkus
'Time and place are convincingly evoked as Diamant immerses the reader in immigrant life, complete with traditional strict-with-a-heart-of-gold Jewish mother, and the early stirrings of women's liberation are reflected through Addie's own growth to independence and womanhood. It's a wonderful read' --Daily Mail
