Why did I love this book?
A lot has been said about this book, and a lot of people may feel the same as I did when they finished reading it.
I closed the book and thought, âat lastâ a look at the struggles women had in the professional world during that timeâbut done is an unusually engaging way. Her differences were what drove the story. She was not the ordinary housewife or mother. Against all odds, she found perhaps the one man who could appreciate her for what she wasâand then lost him. This book highlights the people who donât fit the mold.
