It was a fun read, a memoir style story from an elderly lady’s pov, recounting her younger years. I love the time period set in this story and the adventurous spirit of the lady. But I’m not overly enthusiastic. I wish this had been a shorter book, I might have enjoyed it more. I do like it, just not too much. Also I think I’m upset about her personal loss - left me feeling quite despondent. It was unnecessary.
