Description
In early twentieth-century Boston, Addie Baum navigates a world vastly different from the one her immigrant parents envisioned. As the titular Boston Girl, she yearns for education, independence, and a life beyond the confines of tradition, embracing the burgeoning opportunities for women with intelligence and curiosity. This coming-of-age story unfolds through Addie's own recollections, as she shares her journey of self-discovery, love, and the pursuit of dreams with her granddaughter. It's a rich tapestry woven with themes of family, friendship, feminism, and the enduring quest to define oneself in a changing world.
