thought provoking
As a former New Englander, there is so much here that culturally defines characteristics and attitudes that stay in the East. I was brought back into a world I left 30 years ago and the memories although not specifically mine, were vivid.

Quietly Moving Memoir tells of America's Changing Century,
By Thomas F. Scahill (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treetops: A Memoir About Raising Wonderful Children in an Imperfect World (Paperback)
"Treetops," while telling of one family in particular, speaks to the ever changing family unit in the 20th century where the roles began firmly established in 1900 and careened on to a helter skelter order in 2000. The role of women, children, and siblings in a man's world is dissected in "Treetops" --all through the eyes of one family child as she looks at the past. I found the book quietly moving as I learned about the family and found it reflected in my own. "Treetops" is the place we all long to go back to and the place we all long to escape from at the same time.

I read this book hoping that Johm Cheever's daughter might possess a bit of his genius. Not so. This book is humdrum.
