The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal by Lily Koppel

emotional hopeful inspiring fast-paced

3.5

Chance discovery of Florence Wolfson’s diary of brief entries from ages 14-19 gives a look at a privileged upbringing and a young person’s artistic yearnings.  You might pair this with Alexander Masters’ examination of diaries found in a “skip”.  This person had a very different sort of life, with more challenge than freedom.
