In our lives, we sometimes run across people who take our breath away with their zest, their wit, their purpose, their zing. Lillian Boxfish is one of those sorts of people. She’s clever, brilliant really, and full of resolve for her life. She is an ad copywriter and a poet, and, as I read along, I couldn’t believe how real she seemed. At the end of the book, I found out why: she was real; the author based Lillian Boxfish, in part, on the life of Margaret Fishback.

What an absolutely delightful book! A great character, Lillian is bright, honest, and audacious, and her interesting life is recounted through memories triggered as she walks. I enjoyed every minute.
