A lovely book, I'm very glad I read it. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I don't like the way the book talks about/characterizes women. But, I trust that this characterization is a reflection of the individuals in the book and not a remark about women in general, so I still enjoyed reading it very much.
