Lillian On Life by Alison Jean Lester

Lillian is a single woman reflecting on her life choices and imagining her future.

She was born in the American Midwest in the 1930s but packs up her life and heads to Europe. It’s the ’50s and the perfect place to work, live and fall in love. Eventually she settles in New York and pursues the greatest love of her life…

And we jump right ahead into the ’90s, and it’s time for Lillian to take stock of her life. She’s spent most of her life walking the unpaved road between traditional and modern choices for women. While exciting, it was a tough choice for Lillian who still struggles with her memories of parental disappointment and the societal expectations of her younger self.

Wins and loses in love and life have given Lillian her own special brand of wisdom.

If anything Lillian on Life  will inspire you to take the road less travelled . It’s a great read for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
