This is a very good book about a woman I never knew existed. This is a fun way of reading about historical people, this narrative non-fiction was engaging and interesting. Her life was not happy or easy but I was interested from start to finish with this. Worth reading, especially if you are a New Yorker and have been or are going to go to the Morgan Library.
