An all too-short, or mayhap perfectly paced, journey through an ordinary life in a time now lost to us. Its age - published in 1934 - gives it a dated charm as it refers the “90s” while referring to the 1890s. But its social commentary on change, on how generations both leave each other behind while journeying forward together, remains as relevant as ever.
