This book was so unique it is difficult to put in to words how to review this book. I enjoyed the realism of this stubborn old woman, and it was a very sad book but also had some beautiful parts. In the beginning, I thought I would not enjoy the book but it did capture me. The many characters were confusing at first. I had to ask AI to provide me a list of all the significant people she was corresponding with and that made it easier to follow. All in all I would call this a very sad but honest, heartfelt book.
