Along the way, enjoy reflections on learning to read, teaching others to read, becoming a vegetarian, falling in love, motherhood, music making and much more.

Whatever the author did, wherever she went and whoever she met, books were always at the heart of it this memoir will appeal to anyone who finds solace and joy in the world of reading.
