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. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

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. ( )
