DESCRIPTION:
Bennett is Visiting Scholar at Brown University. . About the Author David J
A fourteen -year-old immigrant came to Ellis Island by himself in 1906 and was sent back to Lithuania. This is the story of Max and Lillian Bennett, the Norwood Market, and three sons and a daughter. By the end of 1918 he was a United States citizen, had married a 1913 Chelsea High School graduate, had his own store and his first son. This strong personality landed in Boston a few months later to begin to learn English and the retail grocery business. The conflict comes when it is clear that the sons do not want a life in business.. We get an intimate view of life in a retail market in the 30's through the 50's in a small town north of Boston
