Fascinating story of an elderly woman walking across NYC in the 1980's. Lillian Boxfish is a character of a kind that you don't often see, bright, brittle, funny, and an extrovert who consistently connects with the people that she meets along the way as she crosses Manhattan on New Year's Eve.

Loved the structure and how the strong sense of place factored into that structure--the city acts basically as an old friend supporting reminiscence. This is a perfect book to read near the new year, both because of the timing of the events of the book and because of its themes.
