Críticas
"[Union Square] is accessible and entertaining and combines romance, family life, fashion and politics without condescension... The novel's special texture comes from a zesty, downtown, left-wing reading of events... Gritty [and] satisfying." -- Eden Ross Lipson, New York Times Book Review "Like Rivington Street, Union Square is a good read. It's juicy, fast-paced, full of scrumptious descriptions of food, fashion, glamorous living, romance. But that's not what makes it worth reading... [Tax] sees these details as part of a panorama of American history--political, social and, most profoundly, feminist history... Tax's achievement in Union Square is impressive." -- Elayne Rapping, The Nation "Meredith Tax does something different, something revolutionary. She brings women's history to life in the characters and events of her narrative... A historical novel that is, in itself, a satisfying bonbon of a book." -- Lillian S. Robinson, Women's Review of Books
Reseña del editor
Taking up where her celebrated "Rivington Street" left off, Meredith Tax's "Union Square" brims over with the passions and struggles of five indomitable women: Hannah Levy, the Russian immigrant matriarch; Sarah, a communist organizer who sides with the union - and against her Bolshevik husband - in opposing the Hitler-Stalin pact; Ruby, who covertly undercuts her department store magnate husband's business with her own clothing designs; Rachel, a wealthy widow dedicated to bohemian life and the pleasures of the Jazz Age; and Rachel's sister-in-law, Tish, a lesbian expatriate who seeks sexual and artistic fulfillment in the salons of Paris and Weimar Germany. Gutsy and engrossing, "Union Square" paints a complex, believable picture of the tumultuous years between the end of the First World War and the eve of the Second.
