A Christmas Memory
by Truman Capote
Christmas Memory by Truman Capote
First time reading this author and enjoying the memories of the season.
1956 author lives with many relatives in Alabama and tells us of his memories around the autumn getting closer to Christmas.
He gives descriptive details of all the scenes in front of him. Woman lives still in her childhood days although she's in her late 80s.
They take the baby carriage and go to the garden, it's used for everything they need it for. They collected nuts for their first fruitcake , they want to make 30 of them.
Next day they will shop at the store and know exactly what they need. No money so how will they buy the groceries.
They've earned money all year long selling off some things at the farm. Like where they hide their fruitcake money. The woman has never been to the movie.
She gives him ten cents to go see a movie then sit and tell her about the movie. Love list of everything she has done, classic. They even made money killing flies in August.
Relatives decide it's time for him to enter the military and off he goes. He still gets fruitcake every year and he's amazed as to how she can do it all herself.
Sad at the end but the memories are golden.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
