Book Review of The Red Address Book

The Red Address Book
Helpful Score: 1


Doris is nearing the end of her life (in her 90's). After a fall puts her in the hospital, her niece Jenny comes from the US to Sweden to be with her and uncovers the memoir that Doris has been writing for her. As a child, her father had given her a red address book so she could chronicle the people she met in her life. Chapters focus on some of the individuals and her struggle to survive on her own. Wonderful, nostalgic read!
