travelling_bookworm 's review for:
A Christmas Memory
by Truman Capote
“Quite deliberately my friend drops a kettle on the floor. I tap-dance in front of closed doors. One by one the household emerges, looking as though they'd like to kill us both; but it's Christmas, so they can't.”
--
A beautifully written book, filled to the brim with quirky, lovable characters, and bittersweet moments from a child's innocent eyes, painted with golden nostalgia.
Capote's autobiographical work is a wonderful read to get into that cozy and warm Christmas mood, and to feel ALL the feels.
Is there anything sweeter, sadder and more human than this quote that embodies the season's charitable feelings injured by poverty and the feeling of inadequacy?
“It's bad enough in life to do without something YOU want; but confound it, what gets my goat is not being able to give somebody something you want THEM to have.”
