Carrie’s comments from the Read Around Jessamine group.

I couldn't help but think of the Lemlich family when I heard the recent news about the ship full of immigrants sinking off the coast of Libya. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/21/world/europe/european-union-immigration-migrant-ship-capsizes.html

Even today, people are still risking their lives to escape poverty and persecution.

In what other ways does the story of Clara Lemlich resonate with contemporary society?

I'm a librarian here at JCPL, and I love to read fiction (mostly of the "literary" variety), poetry, and a smattering of nonfiction (memoir, history, and food writing). If you love history or historical fiction, I just finished The Boys in the Boat and The Signature of All Things and recommend them both!
