Through a series of entries in a red address book, Doris remembers all those who have been a part of her life the past 96 years. Some memories are joyful, while others are not. Doris decides to write about it and create a story to leave behind for her loved ones, particularly her niece Jenny. The reader gets a glimpse of Doris's past in America and Paris, as well as her present life in Stockholm. It's heartwarming to read about a life well lived, such as the one Doris had. The use of the address book to weave the story together is a bit different than anything I've read before. It made me reflect on the various people who have been a part of my life and shaped me along the way. I look forward to reading other books by this author.
