A review by seanwpace
Remembering by Wendell Berry

4.0

This was a tricky book at first read. I don't know if Berry is categorized as literary or southern fiction or both. Either way, I don't normally read this style of novel. Just reading the book and taking it at face value, I initially gave it 3 stars. This might have been due to the fact that it was required reading for a college course and I had a due date. But after I sat down and thought about the book, I increased the score to 4 stars. I began to see what Berry was trying to say and how he very skillfully used the characters and their personal struggles and the situations they were put in to convey his overall message. It's a really wonderful book when you sit back and think about what you've read. Berry is great at conveying the message in an almost subliminal way.
