Moving and surprising novel

This is a very moving novel set in the Lower East Side of New York in the early 20th century. I was surprised by the richness of historical detail and the sense of place. It is a very accomplished novel for a first novel -- few writers have such an eye for detail and an ability to convey emotion. Well worth reading.
