Story4 out of 5 stars 17
Born in 1905, Daisy Goodwill Flett drifts through the chapters of childhood, marriage, widowhood, remarriage, motherhood, and old age, bewildered by her inability to understand her own role in the unsettled decades of the twentieth century. At last, reflecting on her unobserved and unconventional life, Daisy attempts to find a way to tell her story within a novel that is itself about the limitations of autobiography.

Not what I thought it would be. Fell asleep during the first hours. Woke up at chapter 5. This maybe okay for a new be parent but not for someone with teens and older. Been there done that.
