Book Review of A Woman of Independent Means

A Woman of Independent Means
reviewed on + 28 more book reviews


Letters written by Bess, a woman who marries, raises children, travels, writing to family and friends during her whole life. The author has created "Bess Steed Garner--a precocious, bossy, loving and extremely believable woman who as a singular character represents much of everywoman." I couldn't put it down for very long...finished it in three days!
