Simon Winchester is one of those authors who writes with a kind of slow deliberation and purposeful use of words. I enjoyed this book for the little details he uncovered, perhaps more than the broad history he recounted. A well developed book. I have lent this book to so many people that gave it back without having enjoyed it / or finished it because of its slow pace that I realise it is not for everyone - I enjoyed because of its attention to detail.

WOW! This is a very disturbing story!!! Yet so heart wrenching... If you think you've seen the human spirit, think again! You haven't really seen it until you read this book.

During: While reading this book I found it was really slow and hard to get through. I didn't like how the author traveled to different places and just tried to start from scratch. I also find it interesting that when Barbara reveals who she really is, her employees seemed not interested and like they didn't care at all. After: I didn't like the ending to this book. I felt like she kind of gave up on her job because she was tired of it and just left. One thing I did like was how she wanted to form a Union, although no one else was interested.
