Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney

5.0

This story was witty, full of charm, and easy to read. I can relate to the character even though I am 40 years her junior. I can see myself being snide and triumphant, stubborn and independent as an older lady. The story was based on Margaret Fishback who was an ad executive for Macy's once upon a time.
A fictional coming of age story that describes Lillian's life from late teens to mid-eighties. The narration is from Lillian's point of view. Her love of New York, her son, and her job that was her identity for so long.
