A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote
4.0

This book is bittersweet. I love that Capote highlights an unusual friendship: that between the very old and the very young. It's not a common grouping and it reminds me of the immense love and friendship shared between my grandmother and my young son. Of course the ending is sad, as it must always be in these cases, but the rest is so filled with warmth, love, and happiness. Do we dwell on the outcome, or the journey there?

As always, Capote's prose is easy-to-read yet filled with depth and nuance. I adore it.
