steph_phanie's review against another edition
4.0
This is more than the story of a bookseller in New Zealand. It is the story of a daughter, mother, sailor (extraordinaire!), lover, survivor, and fighter. She was not perfect, but she was courageous and passionate, and that has brought her to the wonderful place she is in today.
There were some moments where I would have liked more context, detail, and emotion, but overall I enjoyed reading about her vibrant life.
