Barbara B. (GrannyGamer) - reviewed on 12/11/2007 + 153 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

I have mixed feelings about this book. It is well written, and surely well intentioned, but because of a lack of extensive source material, is filled with speculation rather than solid facts. Also, while it's extremely interesting in some respects, there is a lack of joy or humor which makes the book ultimately depressing. Still, it provides many fascinating glimpses into the "adventure" of Helga Estby and her daughter, as well as America of that age.
