The most interesting parts of this book to me were the references to New Orleans of the period .. and there wasn’t THAT much, but enough to keep me listening and hearing the sewing threads. I wish the idea of providing career success at an orphanage was/is something done practically!
All that said, I was not a fan of the narrator- to me she didn’t capture the boldness of the women we were hearing about and frankly, the nasally voice was distracting.
