The trouble with biographies of this brevity is that they run the risk of turning into a list of activities. And this little book drifted into this territory as it progressed. I think a full biography Clara Swain would be very interesting, however this wasn't a bad introduction. I'd like to give a more thorough review, being it's first reviewer here on Librivox, but to be honest I listened to the entire book in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. Although the book was entirely successful in rectifying insomnia, I'm a little foggy on details. Many thanks to the narrator for his steady reading.
