Aside from the weird love story that our book club assumed was forcefully inserted by the publisher, this is a really great book. I loved learning about the real story behind The Sound of Music and though it wasn't knock-your-socks-off writing, it was well told and enjoyable to read. The true story is quite different from the one portrayed in the movie, and we spent a lot of time discussing Maria's motives as well as how the way she handled the family's needs affected the children as they aged. I've already recommended it to my mom and I would think any reader would like it quite a bit. Might have to watch the movie again as it's been a long time!
