A Christmas Memory, including One Christmas and The Thanksgiving Visitor
by
by
Capote’s storytelling is smooth and personal. He talks to the reader in a natural conversational tone and the reader is hooked with the easy and steady tempo of his words and the exposition of this complicated family. The three holiday stories in this book are heart warming and offer an inside look at 1930’s life in rural Alabama.

Those Christmas stories sound quite good. Maybe one for me to investigate next year...

What a wonderful memory of the pecans, Judith. They must have been so tasty, especially in the pie.
Lovely reflection, Judith! I read each of these stories separately and loved them :)
Aww, lovely, Judith. Thank you. I need to read more Truman Capote.

Pedro! I’m laughing at your post because as soon as I finished my review I sarcastically said, “Awww, ain’t that just too sweet”.

Books that bring back memories are so special. Lovely review and memories, Judith.
Super review Judith, I love the pecan story - I'm yet to read Capote, but one day will have to, he sounds very good!
I love this and the Thanksgiving companion
