Sinopse

In 'My Opinions and Betsey Bobbet's,' Marietta Holley employs a form of satire that deftly critiques societal norms and gender roles of her time. The narrative, distinguished by its epistolary style, reveals the contrast between the protagonist's strong-willed stances and Betsey's zealous pursuit of marriage. Holley's work stands not merely as an entertainment piece but as a literary act of subtlety, weaving humor and irony into a broader commentary on the expectations placed upon women in the 19th century. The book positions itself within a tradition of feminist literature that seeks to question and subvert the status quo through the power of wit and narrative insight.

Marietta Holley, often likened to a female Mark Twain, was a forerunner in championing women's rights and suffrage through her writing. Known for her sharp wit and keen observation, Holley's own experiences and progressive views are evident in the text. Her work is a profound reflection of her commitment to social commentary and her skill in crafting engaging, thought-provoking stories that resonate with the struggles of her contemporary audience while remaining surprisingly relevant in modern discourse.

'My Opinions and Betsey Bobbet's' is highly recommended for those who appreciate literary satire and works that offer a window into historical gender dynamics. Readers will find themselves not only entertained by Holley's humor but also enlightened by the incisive societal critiques embedded within. This book remains a testament to the enduring power of literature to inspire and provoke thoughtful consideration of our world's social fabric.

    Brzeziny, Poland, 1939. Zofia's comfortable lifestyle overturns when her husband, Jabez, who monitors Nazi activity, has gone missing. Rather than fleeing the country with her young son, as she had promised Jabez who is fearing retaliation, she decides to stay. She cannot possibly leave her friend, Aanya. Since their childhood they have amazed fellow Brzeziners that it does not matter that Aanya is Jewish and deaf, and that Zofia is Catholic and hearing. Now, more than ever with war looming, Zofia will do whatever is necessary to protect her family and Aanya. 
     
     
     
    As both love and war approach their Polish town, Zofia and Aanya must make choices that will change the meaning of family, home, and their precious friendship. The journey, decisions, and the no-going-back consequences the women face will either help them to survive—or not—as Hitler's Third Reich revs up its control of the world. 
     
     
     
    Inspired by the author's paternal heritage from Brzeziny, this is a heartbreaking yet beautiful story of two women who are determined to remain united in friendship and to live freely despite the odds.
