I still maintain a couple physical shelves of books that contains my all-time favorites and mind-expanding books. I define favorites worth rereading and therefore keeping a copy of, for that purpose. This is a favorite which I've read probably 3 maybe even 4 times since I saw the movie version.
In a world where I'm driven by the calendar and clock, and a mental list of must dos before I can take a break, let alone relax, this story really gets me to daydreaming about a time in my life when all that pandemonium falls away and I can slump into a comfy chair with a great page-turner. The fireplace would be icing on the cake.
And growing up during the transition from women being defined by and deemed less than men, and women making major changes to the world, creating more equal footing, this book also strikes a chord.
