book title?
by North Adams Library 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

Hello all, I have a patron looking for a book that she read as an 8th grader in the mid-late 60s. "... it was about 2 immigrants, the girls name was Olga, I think. She dies and a statue shed tears, not sure if that statue was Mary...." She said that the book has stayed with her through the years and she'd like to re-read it, to see how it holds up. Ideas? Thank you! Phyllis ------ Phyllis Rickard Director North Adams Community Memorial Library 110 E.
