Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marbles (Paperback)
Having recently read a short story collection which included something penned by Oxford Stroud, I was eager to read more by this author. However, I had a dickens of a time finding this book! I finally ordered a used copy from Amazon.com and received a musty old copy with a goodwill sticker on the label; I wasn't anticipating much. Boy, was I wrong.
This is a delightful coming of age book set in the early 1940s south, about a boy and his townspeople - his fanatically religious Aunt, his best friend the math savant, his sometimes girlfriend(s), and other equally eccentric characters. It reminds me of Ferrol Sams with a little Carson McCullers thrown in. |
