A review by sharppointysticks
How to Be an American Housewife by Margaret Dilloway

3.0

I am fascinate with the traditions and beliefs of other cultures and I love a book that gives me some insight into the lives of others. I enjoyed this book very much. The first half of the book is from the perspective of an old woman looking back on her life. The second half is from her daughter's point of view. Though some parts were a bit predictable it was a quick and enjoyable read. I particularly liked the author's note at the end. When ever a read historical fiction I wonder how much of the story is actually true, I liked that the author gave us some insight into her inspiration.
