I enjoyed the author's use of an address book to tell the story of the main character's life and all of the people that she interacted with during her lifetime. Doris lived in interesting times traveling from Stockholm to Paris to the United States escaping the Nazi's just in time. Through many trials and tribulations, Doris lives her life rich with many different and interesting experiences. The story is extremely well written, so much so, that the reader would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by it. Very descriptive with fully fleshed out main characters, one cannot help but to be drawn by the story. I found it hard to put this book down, I had to know what happened next. Bravo Sofia Lundberg! I look forward to reading more books by you, hopefully in the near future.
