Miss Theodora

"Miss Theodora: A West End Story" by Helen Leah Reed is enjoyable read and a window into the proper past. Miss Theodora is an elderly lady who lives in Boston's West End, taking care of her young nephew Ernest. The book spans Ernest's life from when he is a toddler to the time when he is a happily married man, satisfied with his work and career, so different from what his dear aunt originally had in mind for him.
