I gave the book 2.5/5 for its important tale of a pioneer woman in the great city of New York! However, the way in which it was written was challenging for me to get through. Additionally, while I appreciated the vocabulary that was used, I also felt like it distracted from the story. I did, however, find a lack of cohesion within the novel. From women’s rights, to marriage, travel, how the city has changed, careers, and much more, there are several small interesting moments shared with the reader.
Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk near the end of her life, and narrates the different stories and experiences over the 50 years she has lived in New York. While the story was compelling, the way in which it was told was disjointed and difficult to follow.
She was a copywriter for Macy’s and paved the way for women in writing and advertising.
I was really looking forward to this book – as it is based on the life of Margaret Fishback, a strong career woman of the 1920’s and 1930’s in New York.
