"Completely enjoying this sharp angled read. But then I am especially enamored of intrepid women of considerable length life experiences. And no more than by the mighty Florence of this particular period. Excellent!" — 13 hours, 56 min ago

Well, I said the review would come in a week. But I guess I lied. Maybe the reason I forgot about it was that it was a hard one to posit. For my taste and as a memoir in general. Both! Yes, I am outlier. And I'm going to try to be as kind as possible. ...more |

"Maybe a book for another time....
I read this book after watching the mini-series a couple of times (definitely worth seeing). I loved the first section with Will Henry as chief of police. I also enjoyed Hugh as well. I also felt like I was in that..." Read more of this review » |

“Never marry a man unless you can sit with him reading a book and feel perfectly comfortable. If it makes you nervous to sit quietly with him while you read, feeling like you need to entertain him or provide conversation, then this would not be the person you should spend your life with.
