Why read it?
1 author picked Florence Adler Swims Forever as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Tearjerker warning here. This book brought me back to 1930s Atlantic City. As a Jersey Girl, I’m always curious to read books about the place I grew up. I was especially interested in this book because it centered on a Jewish family, similar to my own. While the plot hinges on a tragedy, there are also hopeful moments and some well-placed humor.

From Elyssa's list on loads of nostalgia.
