At [$$] This is A Christmas Card of Memories,
By Carolyn Howard-Johnson "Author 'This is the P... (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Christmas Past (Paperback)
In "Christmas Past," Bill Duncliffe calls up memories of Christmas-American-Style replete with the required dreams of baseball dancing around in a young boy's head-in this case, a personally autographed fielder's glove from Carl Yastrzemski himself. This memoir cum novel breaks a few rules. A teacher in novel writing might suggest that it isn't long enough or fleshed out enough to be a full-fledged novel; it's not quite a memoir either. It reminds me more of a long short story. That should not bother most readers because it is a good story. The kind of story that warms hearts, even in bitter Boston where it is set. "Chirstmas Past" reminds me a little of some sections from John Grisham's "A Painted House." At [$$] it's a sweet-souled, slim little volume that says "Merry Christmas" much better than a card. Carolyn Howard-Johnson, author of "This is the Place" |
