If steve recommends it, it must be good!
Even if you don't agree with Ayn Rand's philosophy, this book is well worth reading. Gail Wynand is my favorite female character. Rand captures both the intelligent, sacrificial, and susceptible nature of women in this one character better than anything else I have read.
We get it, you were precocious and lucky. And grew up to be earnest. Mary Antin's memoir about early childhood in a Russian Jewish community, emigrating to Boston (?) with her family, and the process by which American patriotism replaced Judaism as the definitive faith of her character and life. There's an overall tone of nerdy arrogance to the writing, reminiscent of Annie Dillard's and Agatha Christie's writings about childhood, though sadly minus most of the wry humor. But here and there are some beautiful passages evocative of landscape and the individual's smallness relative to the vastness of cultural and national identity.
The book was difficult to follow. Gave you an idea of what life was like at the time of Cromwell.
