When We Were the Kennedys: A Memoir from Mexico, Maine by Monica Wood

4.0

---

Beautifully written memoir about Wood's early life in a Maine mill town. I found it fascinating -- an evocative look at a way of life that just doesn't exist anymore. Not sure it would appeal if you're not already at least a little interested in 1950s company towns.... but even in that case I suspect Wood's warmth and eye for a telling detail would win you over.
