5.0 out of 5 stars A story that will touch your heart and soul!, January 8, 2001

By 

Sharon Galligar Chance (Wichita Falls, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Remember Box, The (Paperback)

Patricia Sprinkle takes her readers back in time to the 1950s, an era that is as turbulent as it is gentle. She captures the slow friendliness of Southern hospitality and the cold cruel reality of racism and bigotry with startling realism, and conveys a wonderful story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a woman who is looking back at her past. Weaving an intriguing mystery among the remeniences of her young heroine, Carley, Sprinkle grabs her audience by the collar and doesn't let go until the final fascinating end. This is a great story!

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!, January 10, 2003

This tale of Carley and her year with her aunt and uncle and cousin is so well written! I kept having to stop to read bits of it to others around me just to share the way Patricia puts her words together. The story put me right there in that little community the whole way through. I could not put the book down.

While I did not grow up in North Carolina, this story struck a real chord with me. I found myself flooded with memories of my own childhood from a time when I stayed often with my grandparents in their old house in Florida.

I enjoyed "The Remember Box" so much that I have shared it as a Christmas gift with several of my friends.

Thank you, Patricia, for another great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Southern small town struggles, July 25, 2002

By

This review is from: Remember Box, The (Paperback)

I loved this book. It is well written and reminds me of "To Kill a Mockingbird" both in quality and style. This was a book that I did not want to finish and I fell in love with the characters. The descriptions of life in a small town in the late 1940's resonated with me and her characterizations of people were dead on. There was enough mystery to satisfy my love of that genre but it was so evocative in it's painting of "the south" and it's struggle with the racial issues that I was hooked from the beginning. Because I live in Canada, it was a treat to bury myself in this totally different world. I could almost smell the magnolia's and feel the heat.
I especially enjoyed her ability to get into the mind of an 11 year old and to see the world through her eyes. Rang true all the way through the book. Ms Sprinkle has written a winner and I look forward to reading more of her books.
