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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The author\u2019s writing style combined with the theme of starting to live somewhere new makes this a can\u2019t miss book for me. Similar to the first half of Julia Child\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Excellent book – I could read this every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
