4.0

Based loosely on a real woman, this is the story of Lillian Boxfish reflecting on her life while taking a walk through New York on New Year's Eve. There is some truly elegant writing in this book. While some of her reflections are a bit more engaging than others, overall this one is truly worth a read. You get to see New York (and the world) change through the life of one woman.
