A wonderful romp through 1984 NYC.  I loved learning about Lillian, her history, her accomplishments and her love of the city is magnificent.  It so makes me yearn for a walk around NYC.  The history of the city makes this book so enjoyable.  Lillian herself is amazing, but the city in which she calls home is just as an important character.
