A review by miiisch
Imitation of Life by Fannie Hurst

3.0

This book is sooooooo lengthy! It took me ages to get through, even though I had to read it for uni... The themes of this book are very interesting, very modern and I love me some women in the workplace at the beginning of the 20th century. This book is about feminism, about family and about race in America. Published in 1933 it represents very current topics and mindsets. One topic e.g. for the book is the theme of passing. Sadly, this was only an aditional storyline and I would have much rather read a book that was focused on Peola and Delilah than on Bea and her daughter Jessie.
Also I hated the ending? wtf... but the book wasn't bad, it was just meh. Solid 3 stars though.
