I thought the book was a good read, but I did think that sometimes it had a bit too modern a tone - characters are very candid about matters that "one just did not talk about" in that era -- even though nobody seems concerned with (lack of) birth control. It's a jarring mixture at times. But I like the semi-epistolary format and was drawn into the characters' lives and events. It turned out to be a very good read. I also appreciated the explnatory material, recipes, etc. in the back. I would recommend it. I will be looking for Ms Ryan's next book.
