I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this book. It's a simple story, but it really pulled me in and I developed a great affection for the characters. Readers should remember the time frame in which it was written. I had a few "ouch" moments when characters said things that we would consider rather sexist or racist.
Many thanks to the Librivox narrator for her excellent reading. I loved her accent, even though it meant I couldn't quite catch every word.
