when I was a kid what I really wanted to read were books where the heroine was Jewish (or just female) that weren't specifically about the experience of being Jewish (or female) in a prejudiced society. (Like the "All-of-a-Kind-Family" series.) Actually, I still prefer those.

Yeah, me too! Because I sort of know what it's like to be female or Chinese in a prejudiced society, so while I want books that acknowledge that, I want books where people like me get to kick butt or go shopping or play with rats or whatnot as well.

I've really been enjoying Rabb's book, so thanks for the rec! I've especially liked how Holocaust survivor guilt is always there in the background, but how, like you say, it's not what the book is about.
