Helpful Score: 3

I originally ordered this book thinking that it would be a nice beach book and when it arrived I was surprised to learn it was a memoir. The excitement the author felt during her time in New York city was clearly evident in the writing. Each chapter seemed to sparkle with excitement and magic. What a wonderful way to remember the best summer of your life. The book was truly effervescent. Through Marjorie Harts descriptive language the reader is able to transport themselves back in time to an age of family, conflict and triumph. Reading Marjorie Harts words was like listening to my Grandmother's stories of her childhood and growing up as part of the greatest generation. This book took me on a wonderful journey down memory lane.
