This book is a real pleasure

On New Year's Eve the 85 year old Lilian takes a long walk in Manhattan. On the way she visits places from her past and talks to people she meets. Meanwhile she looks back on her life as an ad copywriter, poet, wife and mother

You can't help but love her independent, prickly character and her way with words

You can read her as a feminist, but this is not too explicit or preaching, which I liked all the better

Thanks again @JD_Cunningham

@MarianHellema @bookstodon I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Lillian is a terrific character and I too loved going on that epic walk with her.
