I just finished this charming account of a life well lived. It was an interesting story that took a peek through time and over 100 years of one woman's life in New York City. I am ready to go on a Fran tour next time I'm in the area!

I enjoyed this book. Nice that Cora had remembered and was told so much about her mother to write about her. Nice memories.
I actually read this book in about 10 days. I had taken a break when I was out of town.
