This was an amazing book. It was heartbreaking and raw and real and it is so fascinating watching the lifetime of a person born in the late 1890s who lived through WWI, the 1918 flu, the Great Depression, WWII, and beyond. The innovation in that time was incredible, and seeing it all through someone's lived experience is so valuable. If I had one qualm, it is that race wasn't touched on much at all, but this is a fictionalized memoir of a woman who, it seems, had little to no contact with African Americans, so that made sense. It was a wonderful listen on Audible. Lots of tears. Lots of smiles. Lots of feelings.
