Always a reader. Writing to remember and to share my thoughts on the books I read.
The Hours Count by Jillian Cantor sets up to tell the history of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg through the eyes of a fictional neighbor, Mildred “Millie” Stein. The fiction story really takes over the history in this book. This is Millie's story – of marriage, motherhood, and friendship. Her story - not the Rosenberg's history - is what keeps me reading in this book.
