Hello! Any readers for this fun, fun book? Please start with one chapter tonight!
This is such a great book, and I am taken by its stories and sense of humor. For example, when the train came to town, it was described as a ”kitchen with a village" !
The joy of reading this is abundant.

Solitude = disillussionment of the world

the women are really quite interesting; they managed their lives better, than their men--it seems so. They are more together!
可是目前就咱俩折腾，其他女士们都去哪里孤独了？
