The book is an easy read but the author's point of view does not match the time period of Anne Lindberg. She is more feminist in attitude than a woman of Anne's time and does not give an accurate portrayl of the accomplishments of a woman of her time. It did lead to an interesting discussion about Anne's life and times and also lead many of our members to looking up more information about her. One of our members read Gifts of the Sea and another the A. Scott Berg Lindberg biography. Overall our members felt the book was entertaining and a spark toward more investigation of her life.
