Review title: Touching, and uproariously funny!
Product review: This is a book of childhood memories, presented simultaneously (and seamlessly) from the point of view of the child living these adventures, and of a woman who sees how limited that child's vision was. This book has an edge that reminds me of "Malcolm in the Middle" (but set in Indiana in the 60's). The heroine's matter-of-fact acceptance of her friend's inability to speak and her own to speak for her is rendered hilarious when the friend's mother calls the girl to have her interpret her daughter's unspoken desires over the phone. Her righteous indigation over the incompetence of her teacher is wise and witty, but when she confides her opinion to, let's say, a poorly-chosen confessor, the comedy is irresistable. Descriptions of her parents' vacation preparations will surely strike a chord with baby boomers from all over America. I'd love to hear more of this writer's stories!
