5.0 out of 5 stars A tragic American tale, easily repeatable, August 30, 2007

By 

The Concise Critic: (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Noon wine (Hardcover)

This is haunting:
The writing so strong, you will remember much about this small farming family and their industrious handyman. You will remember their appearances, their characters, their agonies. . .and, yes, their particular story.
This is more haunting:
This is a quite common American family (the typical flaws are evident: a marriage, not strong; the children, not reigned; younger potential, not realized) broken by outside forces.
Is Miss Porter warning? These forces--maybe small, maybe distant--will ruin your family life, also.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aria da Capo?, November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Noon Wine (Audio Cassette)

Helton, cuyo nombre significa la diosa nordica del inferno (Hel-) y un pueblo (-ton), toca cinco harmonicas. Su cancion molesta a cada persona del pueblo del sur de Texas. Pero, lo importante: la gente aprende vivir con el sin molestacion. Su cancion ha cambiado; ahora la cancion es como la voz del viento. Mi prof me ha dicho que esta historia es como la "Aria da Capo" de Amy Lowell. Pues no conozco este poema. Hazme favor de escribirme de quien es esta Amy y que es la significancia de esta repeticion? Os recomiendo que compreis esta novelita. Y en seguida que me podreis ayudar a entender.
