Elizabeth Zott is such a great character, with everything she's been through but still standing up for herself and not giving in. It was such a delight to see her speaking her mind, no matter what society expected to hear.
In the beginning it was dragging a bit, because what was described in the blurb only starts happening around 50% in. Looking back, everything in the beginning was important for the later story thought.
Still it was a bit of a drag.
I can really recommend this book.
