The writing is so deft and sure- I love this book, and I know I‘ll read it again. It is so touching. I learned so much of the period too.

wanderlustforwords @Kaye Thanks Kaye! I haven't read it yet either. I love vintage books and sometimes, whether I've read them or not I like to pull them off the shelf for a bit of sun and air. Hahahaha 7y
rubyslippersreads I want to read this because it was mentioned by Maud Hart Lovelace, author of the Betsy-Tacy books. 6y
