I would not have normally read this book on my on as I usually don't pick "old time" books. I prefer to read books about modern day people or the future. But I am so glad that I read this! As a wife and mother this has put my life in a completely new perspective. It really makes you think about your own current situation and appreciate all the little things that you have each day.
It was a moving book, slightly predictable but a good read. I laughed and cried and we had a great discussion on the book afterward.
