I've always loved Ms. Aldrich's homey tales of average folks and this is no exception. Consider me charmed. ( ) This is the 3rd book I've read by Aldrich and I just love this author. She writes about either pioneer life (1870-1900) or small town life (1900-1920). This particular book was about Mrs. Mason, a woman with 5 children and a banker husband. It told of the trials and the happy times of the family. Mrs. Mason is witty as well as wise. Just a delight! 269 pages Funny and touching in an old-fashioned way. A series of episodes in the lives of the Mason family - parents and children - that amuse and illuminate life in small town America at the turn of the last century. I have always enjoyed Bess' writing, and there are many touches here that remind me of "Lantern in Her Hand" without being at all repetitious. Recommended for those who love memoirs of another time. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Bess Streeter Aldrich is known for her portrayals of wise and witty women whose identities are strengthened, not smothered, in the bosom of the family. Molly Mason, fifty-two, is the devoted wife of the bank president, mother of four fun-loving Masons, and a reliable standby for the library board, missionary society, and the women's clubs. She has a hand in everything that happens in her midwestern town. In fact, Mother Mason never has any time to do just as she likes. Then one day she makes a headlong dash for liberty--and look out! Bess Streeter Aldrich published stories about the Masons in American magazine during World War I. Homesick American soldiers asked for more, and in 1925 the same family became the subject of Mother Mason. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
