"This book made a huge impression because it was the first book I ever read that had Jewish characters in it. I read it to my mother because it reminded me prof her stories of the lower Eastside. She loved it as well."

"How can I not love a book where the romantic heroine is a librarian! This was also one of the books that introduced me to Judaism as a child, the rare book depicting Jewish life in the early 20th century in a generally upbeat way. Each of the 5 sisters is lovable, with a distinct personality, but shy, bookish Sarah was always my favorite."

"Wonderful historical fiction of the joys and troubles of an immigrant Jewish family. An absolute joy to read as a young Jewish girl, seeing such positive representation and relatable content even for present day children."
