Bly's ego turned me off on her and her approach to the race. I wasn't sure you would like it since you read more mysteries and western novels, but I'm glad you did read it. I like books that set me firmly in the era the plot takes place in. Right now I'm reading a book set in 1920s Shanghai and, since I don't really like any of the characters, it's setting that keeps me reading.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-3185941519371866112013-02-28T05:53:18.011-07:002013-02-28T05:53:18.011-07:00Cathy - Oh, I've always loved what I've re...Cathy - Oh, I've always loved what I've read of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland too.
