It was the perfect book to read over the first week of the year, as it takes place over New Year's eve. Lillian Boxfish goes on a walk through one city, and one life. 
Such a charming main character, and a beautifully written book. The author clearly loved writing this book, and I loved reading it.
I recommend you take a walk with Lillian, you will not be disappointed.
