A Place at the Table

Ballantine Books

<p>Rachel Levin's life is seemingly falling apart--her lover has left her, a friend's marriage is failing, and she has surgery for breast cancer--but she somehow finds the strength to cope with it all</p>

Random House]

This comic novel, first published in 1976, about a feisty Jewish girl child growing up in a wealthy bourgeois Brooklyn family in the 1920s is evoked by a conciousness witty, authentic, and memorable. Alone, Allegra must learn about what it means to be female, about sex, and about death. She must reconcile the bigotries and limitations of her difficult family, and give and receive love however she can. There are memorable scenes in school and summer camp, with friends, and with older girls and women. Throughout, the voice of Allegra remains compellingly defiant and lovable--and, as Tillie Olsen says, "braided with laughter."
