### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A wonderful nuanced story of life
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016*

Wow!  What a wonderful story of life and how our best laid plans can veer in unexpected directions.  Many who read this won't like the style of writing moving from Mazie's diary to witnesses in her life and back again but it was one aspect of the book that I loved.  We do not see ourselves as others do and we certainly don't always see, or admit to, our own internal truths.  And generally, we only see ourselves in bits and pieces of memory that evolve to fit our personal desires.  The diary is as much a record of Maize's growth and character as the comments of the witnesses.  The central characters in this story, three sisters, grew up "hard".  Their choices in life were driven not just by their own desires but also the need to survive.  Mazie's transformation began as she became an observer but also one who wanted to help the people on the street  in any way she could.  She reminds me of my parents generation that grew up "hard" during the depression, two world wars, and witnessed the unbelievable transformation of the world around them while they also changed without realizing it.  The final entry in Mazie's  diary is so apropos of my parent's generation who silently did the right thing and didn't want to talk or boast  about it.  "Just for a minute, I thought I needed someone to know what I knew, but I can see I was wrong.....It's enough that it happened.  It's enough that I survived."

    Disappointed
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2016*

This fiction book is based upon the life of real-life Mazie Phillips-Gordon (Queen of the Bowery). She was the ticket booth lady at the Venice Theatre in the 1920’s. Mazie was somewhat wild, which I guess wasn’t that unusual at the time. But she also had a heart of gold, helping the homeless with little acts of kindness. It is written as journal entries from Mazie, along with snippets of interviews from people who knew her. However I found there were too many people to keep track of, people that just pop up in the story with no real background information to determine their importance on Mazie’s life. The entire book just seemed too disconnected to me. I would have liked to have known more about Mazie but I didn’t get much from this book.

    A Book That Will Stay With Me For Awhile
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017*

After finishing Saint Mazie, I am skimming through again.  A fascinating story I won't soon forget.  The 20s are my current reading obsession but this book is so much more.  It is about family, love, NYC, the Depression. It is based on a true story of a remarkable woman who didn't see herself as remarkable at all.  Or good.  But what an impact she made by helping the helpless and the hopeless.  She was a free spirit who didn't play by the rules.  I enjoyed the characters of her sisters and lovers as well.  Each having their own stories.
