I loved the parts about running, but the family drama and present-day scenes didn't do it for me and took up too much of the book for my taste. I wanted to hear more about training and gear and racing in the 1920s in Canada and more about the races she ran posing as a man later in life, which were mentioned in only the most passing of all possible passings. But I'm a selfish reader. I should probably be trying to satisfy this thirst elsewhere.
