Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2006.
This is, to put it very simply, an amazing book. It’s so filled with humanity and understanding and love and memories, it’s almost impossible to review. You want to just hand it to people and say, “Here. Read this. Now.”
As a retired public librarian (very large system in a very large city), I've been writing book reviews for the consumption of other people for more than 40 years. Since 1999, I've been posting my reviews to a personal website, but I'm now shifting my reviewing jones to this blog.
I have been a semi-professional genealogist since the 1960s and I have another blog of book reviews in the field of family research! To read those, go to BookSmith's Genealogy Book Reviews.
