Three women—a daughter, a mother, and a grandmother—travel to Princeton, NJ, 1938. The girls begin this American journey with a road trip from CA to NJ, seeing the sights before roads and skyscrapers took over. Imagine being the only women in a male-dominated Princeton.
The overall read was fairly nice. I usually enjoy time-traveling stories as long as something interesting happens at some point. This one just seemed long and uneventful. Yes, the girls got away from being spectators and started experiencing the 1930’s, but nothing was really happening. We had a lot of descriptions—too much, in fact—but nothing was happening. Sure, it was a nice, little journey through an American era. I guess I wasn’t really getting much more than a scenic tour. I mean, I’m sure these women gain some enlightenment here, but this alone wasn’t enough to keep me going for 94 chapters. Yeah, that was too many chapters, too. Of course, this won’t keep me from trying out other books by this author.
An okay read.
