Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk

This is somewhere between a 3.5 - 4 stars for me, but I'll round up because that ending was fantastic. I could tell the author was also a poet for most of the novel, but the way she was able to succinctly and powerfully tie up the whole thing was definitely poetic. Lillian Boxfish is a great character, based on the real-life Margaret Fishback. I loved the historical aspect of this, especially as the book takes place on the last evening of 1984 while Lillian takes a walk around NYC and remembers the last 80 years of her life. It had a sort of nostalgia to it, but the kind that you recognize as its happening and vow to hold on to in the future. I really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a touching, funny, and sweet read.

I just joined BOTM club box thanks to you. Never done a box before, but I chose this book. I just did one month and it was only $5, which I hope there isn't some hidden fees I don't know about, and if I don't want to continue, that I'll have no problems canceling. The prices just seem too good to be true, but I don't always like their selections, as I've been skimming through past boxes. Maybe I should say, I'd rather spend my $10 on another book.
