    A Remarkable Read!
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024*

Almost instantly, I felt like I was sitting next to Katharine on her 270-mile road trip in 1907. The biographical note at the book’s beginning, as well as a map of Katharine’s trip from Newport, Rhode Island to Jackson, New Hampshire, definitely helped ready me for the reading journey.I was in awe and admiration of the 77 year-old Katharine’s ability to come to terms with a dire medical prognosis. Rather than pulling the covers over her head, she embarks on what she knows will be her last adventure. And why not a road trip? A single woman and fiercely independent, she sets off. And amazingly, she is still able to care for others, and even medically assist those in need, much the way she always had.What I love about this novel is that it’s not only a retrospective of a life well lived, but the life of someone still looking forward to more excitement and adventure—despite the odds. Olmsted immediately builds suspense: readers don’t know what obstacles will potentially slow Katharine down. Will it be the road conditions? Her health? A single woman driving along in 1907?Despite Katharine being an elderly woman who lived over a century ago, there is something modern about her personality. Maybe it’s because she’s open-minded, frank, and not afraid of dealing with her feelings. I found it fascinating to read about those she loved, as well as her feelings of being single. There is much to be admired about her. Hers was truly a remarkable life! Olmsted has the ability to breathe life into historical figures through her fiction, as we saw in her earlier book, Landscape of a Marriage. I loved how having read it further enriched my reading experience of Katharine’s Remarkable Road Trip.Read this beautifully crafted work of fiction based on a true heroine in American history. Thank you Gail Ward Olmsted for passing down Katharine’s legacy!

    Reading this book is like hanging out with an old friend!!
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2024*

This book was such a wonderful read.  It tells the story of Katherine Prescott Wormeley, a woman ahead of her time and a great friend of  Frederic Law Olmstead. I just love Katherine. I felt like I was visiting an old friend. A remarkable woman for her time period. She was a great woman in her own right; a philanthropist, a hospital adminstrator, writer, and a feminist. She was born 1830 and died 1908.  This book would make a wonderful series on PBS, it is that kind of wonderful story. I have liked all of Ms Olmstead's books,  but Landscape of a Marriage and KRRT, really sang to me. I was disappointed when I finished this book, I won't get to spend any more time with Katherine Prescott Wormeley.
