About this listen
A heart-warming story about a nine-year old girl named Caroline who goes to live with her Aunt Patty and Annabelle, her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, on Fifth Avenue for a year.
Join Caroline as she explores Manhattan and learns to be a proper young lady. Although she misses her mother who has gone to Paris to study for a year, she quickly gets absorbed in her new life, as she attends The Convent of the Sacred Heart on the Upper East Side, makes new friends, visits the zoos and museums in New York, and has many exciting adventures, all while learning proper etiquette.

As Bette Davis aged she was looking for an assistant, but she found something more than that in Kathryn: A loyal and loving buddy, a co-conspirator in her jokes and schemes, and a competent assistant.

Jade believes she must get out of her neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother says she has to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Except really, it's for black girls. From "bad" neighborhoods. But maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.

Opal Chen reunites with her Chinese sisters after forty years; newly cosmopolitan Lulu Koo wonders why Americans “like to walk around in the woods with the mosquitoes”; Hong Kong parents go to extreme lengths to reestablish contact with their “number-one daughter” in New York; and Betty Koo, brought up on “no politics, just make money,” finds she must reassess her mother’s philosophy. With their profound compassion and equally profound humor, these eleven linked stories trace the intimate ways in which humans make and are made by history.

Lovely story
This is a very delightful and enjoyable book for ladies of all ages. The etiquette lessons are written in as part of the narrative. I really enjoyed listening to it. Particularly charming was the way background sounds were incorporated into the story, for example birds chirping in the park and seals barking at the zoo. I highly recommend this audio book!
