The second time reading this was just as good as the first. I remembered reading this before I got in the habit of highlighting passages that I felt strongly about – this time I was highlighting every few pages.
The author’s writing style combined with the theme of starting to live somewhere new makes this a can’t miss book for me. Similar to the first half of Julia Child’s memoir, it has an adventuresome spirit. I think especially new parents will get a lot out of this, but I came for the history and the writing, and was left wanting even more.
Excellent book – I could read this every year.
Next I am reading An Unsuitable Job for a Woman by P.D. James.
