Whether fiction or non, recognition of the powerful impact and courage of women throughout history is critical. This story makes me want to read more about the real heroines of the Packhorse Librarians and others who answered the call of the Works Progress Administration.

It’s difficult to express the joy this story gives given the extreme sadness that underpins it. The strength of the human will to survive, of love, and of community is so poignant.

Many years after finishing the Aubry-Maturin series I had occasion to learn of another novel of Patrick O'Brian's, The Golden Ocean. Happily, Master O'Brian's excellence in storytelling was as powerfully wonderful in this as in so many of his other works.
