![]() ![]() ![]() The writing is gorgeous, and I found myself so drawn in to each of the characters' worlds that I could not put the book down and the pages flew by. In one sense, this book was easy to read. And then there's Tolan, who is perhaps the most courageous of the three, because even though she's uncovering a lot of secrets about her family, secrets that would devastate anyone, the most powerful demons she's battling are her own. She's always had to fend for herself, and when she finally finds someone she connects with, the woman who is putting a roof over her head makes her choose between the two things she's never had: a stable home and a loving relationship. Sarah is an orphan with so much grit and determination. Bo has a feisty, adventurous spirit, and is trying to make it as a photojournalist at a time where women are expected to marry and keep house and understand that the working world is a man's world. The novel weaves together the lives of three female protagonists, each of whom faces their own struggles and shows their own particular type of resilience. A Lifetime of Men is an exquisite book, one that jumped straight to the top of my favorites list. ![]()
