I enjoyed the personal look at a life that the public would have judged from a different perspective in this novel. It did still feel weird to me, though, to have a fictionalized story based on Justice Ginsburg. Also, the way in which the reader was addressed (“but you already know about that”), as if Sylvia was writing all this herself, took me out of the narrative every time.
