Negative Positive
Title: Gorgeous, poignant, and of another time.
Review: This is the third Christmas season in a row that I have read Capote's holiday trilogy and I am NEVER disappointed. These pieces all come from Capote's personal childhood life and are all interconnected. They detail his southern childhood and the unique friendship he had as a child with an elderly cousin with whom he lived. The prose is gorgeous and the imagery palpable. I have recommended this collection to many friends and fellow readers and I have not heard one complaint yet. In fact, "A Christmas Memory" is my all time favorite holiday story. There is joy, sadness and an old fashioned charm that I have simply not found anywhere else. Each story can be read in about 20 minutes, but each is exquisite in that it will stick with you, maybe even haunt you. They are human and unique. I cannot recommend these stories enough. A fabulous Christmas/holiday gift for the reader in your life.
