Quick read. Love story/life story. Doris is old and dying. She is going back through her past and writing notes on her life for her great-niece Jenny. Doris is reliving her life via her Red Address Book. Her father had given her this book as a birthday when she was young. He told her to write down all the different people she met in her life in this book. I enjoyed the back and forth between past and present. The ending happened a little abruptly, but again maybe a sign I just want more of the story.
