Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Stories about living in Greenwich village in the 60s, about being orphaned and having a wealthy flibbertygibbet for a guardian. It's a little bit Mame but more down to earth. I had a wonderful time visiting New York and Capri with this book. The reveal really got me. I had been so curious earlier on and then had accepted I would have to wait to find out. Happy sigh. When I read the synopsis, it seemed to have so much potential. Brother-Sister relationships, hardship, setting Greenwich Village, Italy. But it really didn't go anywhere for me. The settings seemed rather wasted. I disliked the Lady character so much, I was mad at Fin for loving her. Lady seemed to always be adored by men in her life and, for what? Just her looks? In the middle of the book, I had wished the author had made Lady a minor character and made the book about Mable (the maid) and Fin. Mable was a more salt-of-the-earth type. Audiobook narrator had a rather annoying style as well. Would not recommend. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

In the Greenwich Village of 1964, eleven-year-old Fin moves in with his glamorous, careless older sister, and it's hard to tell who's raising whom. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Despite wanting to feel strongly one way or another about this book, I am a solid "meh". I kind of feel like I was just pulled along for the ride but never really became invested in the story or characters of this one. It's a hard feeling to describe. My initial thoughts were that the writing felt almost directed toward a younger audience (children or YA), yet there were adult themes throughout, so I don't believe that was the case. It may have been the audiobook reader -- her voice was competent enough, but felt almost motherly. I don't know....just a hard one to get a good feeling on. Not great, not terrible, just meh. ( )
