4⭐️ Twenty stories of Old New York! I read one story in between books, and every time it gave me such refreshing switch. I loved her first, “Mrs. Manstey‘s View”; and her last, “Roman Fever” (most famous, too!). I imagined myself taking a stroll around the city and eavesdropping on the conversations of the passerby 😆

LibrarianRyan I love that handmade bookmark! 4y
LeahBergen I loved Roman Fever! 4y
Cathythoughts I loved Mrs Manstays View... I keep thinking about it ... your life from a window ... so relevant , and true. I must fast forward to Roman Fever 👍🏻❤️ 4y

sisilia @Cathythoughts Same here, I wonder how it feels to be her 4y

Several beautiful short stories were included in this collection. The stories with women as main characters tended to be my favorites, and I would put Roman Fever at the top of the list.

As with most anthologies, some stories stood out and others I didn‘t care for. But overall, this was a decent collection l. My favorite was the last story, “Roman Fever.”
