Marynia, Don't Cry : Memoirs of Two Polish Canadian
I strongly recommend this book for anyone with Polish ancestry who would like to grasp a phase in the history of their nationality, as well as anyone who liked the storyline of Angela's Ashes.Part I is an amazing andshocking account of a family's endurance of dreadful hardships in the early1900s in Poland and their eventual migration to Canada.Were the storyembellished with more prose, it would be a Polish counterpart of Angela'sAshes! (and easily go on as a box office hit).I was constantly in awe ofthe determination and comradery of the women in overcoming astonishingobstacles in order to simply survive. ... Read more

A lively, informative account
Solange de Santis' account of life on a car assembly line is a well-written, informative, page turner, albeit without the edge or the humor of Ben Hamper's "Rivethead." Her drive to understand the lives of people who did not have the privilege of growing up in the middle class is commendable. There is, however, one consequence of her actions that she never seems to contemplate: by choosing to take a job on the line, she in effecttook it from another person who did not have the same options and for whom it would have been the best economic opportunity. For me, this phantom was present throughout the book.

Stands with the best works on working.
Solange De Santis was obviously not looking to "rip the lid off" assembly line work when she began either her experience at GM or her book. This is greatly to her credit. LIFE ON THE LINE does all readers theservice of allowing them to make up their own minds. The author's point ofview develops in the text at the same pace as her time passed on the line. Rich in detail and anecdote
How many Ivy-League educated journalists would be willing to break their backs and go work on the assembly line to relay this story authentically? Very few! This writer does, and so gets to know the tasks, the workers andthe business of making vehicles from the most telling perspective of all.Thoroughly familiar with the corporate point of view from years of businesswriting, De Santis joins those people whose sweat and toil actually buildour world. She gives us the private musings and dreams of hardworking folkswho didn't get all the breaks in life that she did, and shows their courageand determination to survive the brutal decisions of an unfeelingcorporation. It's sad that management just can't understand the rage ofthese people whose jobs have been given a death sentence for the sake ofhigher profits, yet who are expected to give 100% down to the last day. Buttheir voices need to be heard. ... Read more
