Maggie-Now
Maggie-Now, Betty Smith’s poignant tale, captures the essence of early 20th century Brooklyn through the eyes of its spirited protagonist. As we follow Maggie’s journey from childhood to womanhood, Smith’s vivid prose brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era. I found myself completely immersed in Maggie’s world, cheering her on through triumphs and heartbreaks. Smith’s keen insight into human nature shines through, making this novel a timeless exploration of love, family, and the pursuit of happiness.
