I read this book years ago when it was first published, and I loved it then, and I love it now. I challenge you to make it through that part of the book (after reading all of the events leading up to it) with a dry eye I was in tears toward the end, the factory fire. these stories could have very well been her own stories that she is passing on to me, the listenerĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? What about Elana Dykewomon’s performance did you like? Also the moments detailing the Pograms in Russia were painfully real, beautifully written and so tragic.Through her narration and writing you truly felt right there in the midst of the action, and you mourned the losses of loved ones right along with the main protagonist. The Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire was as memorable as it was upsetting and difficult to read, though wonderfully written. What was one of the most memorable moments of Beyond the Pale? I would recommend this book to anyone who is into historical fiction, as this gives great insight into the experiences of immigrants in the early 1900's NYC as well as the oppression of Jews in Russian and elsewhere during that time period Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Great historical fiction with a lesbian twist
