Carter has written a memoir that captures the quintessential America that now seems to be slipping away from us. A real treat. --John Tebbel author A History of Book Publishing in the United States Deeply moving.The book is a delight and of course you write like a dream.Your introductory comments on the subject of memoirs are interesting.Congratulations on what I believe we used to call a great read and more than that a deeply affecting record. --Ellen Feldman author Lucy Robert Carter has that rare quality in a writer whose prose is transparent: nothing apparently stands between the reader and the world of the 1930s and early 1940s. That world is portrayed as essentially an unflinchingly revealed emotional one; there is a heartbreaking account of his mother's death--an event that drives his subsequent relations.
