Lily Koppel finds a diary written by Florence Wolfson when she was a teenager. Lily tracks down the owner and learns about her life in the 1920's and 1930's, revealing much about New York City at that time.
Great read.

I enjoyed getting an intimate glimpse into someone's life, but I also found the protagonist curiously disengaged from the larger social context. She seems to live in a bubble that only includes people wealthier than herself. But this is New York! Releasing at Cambridge Bookcrosser's meeting.
I thought this book was an interesting read, though I can't say I enjoyed it entirely. I learned a bit about past society and about this woman whom this book is about.
