This book appealed to me because it was special. The way the character acts reminds me of the Auntie Mame books. The characters are well-rounded and well-developed. You have the impression that you are a character in the novel. I'd love to see this turned into a movie. It seems to be a good fit for that.
If you have a wild, wacky family, the circumstances are plausible. It's a family tale, with fascinating and out-of-the-ordinary relatives. It's a little long, but the details of adventures held me interested.
Auntie Poldi, I assumed, was made up of stories from friends and relatives. The journeys were well described, and the backstories were interesting. This is a book I would recommend for a beach or summer read. It went the extra mile to tell her story.
This, I believe, is the first in a series. I'm looking forward to reading the next installments and getting to know Auntie Poldi better.
