Loving this book, narrated in diary form. Reading on a bus to Boston to meet my sister!!!

Ncostell Hope you have a great time in Boston! 5y
megnews I‘m enjoying it too. Going to read the next section this weekend. Enjoy Boston! 5y
kspenmoll @megnews @Ncostell I woke this morning to a sunny day. Plan to emerge after coffee and reading. So excited to be here for a few days; usually it‘s a day trip, and one I have not done in some time! Thank you both for your well wishes! 5y

TheBookHippie I am loving this!! 5y
kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Me too. So many layers, history, women‘s issues, poverty, dirt poor city life, mothering, female friendships, so many well drawn characters. Lilli is such an authentic character, evolving already. 5y
Crazeedi @kspenmoll I just finished the book, couldn't put it down. Lillian's courage to stay true to herself is told in lyrical language 5y
kspenmoll @Crazeedi I went ahead but did not finish; just on bk 6. But it is compelling & I want to travel with her. Your sentence about Lilli & language nailed it. 5y
