Aprašymas

Since its first publication in 2005, Bruce Coffin's beautifully written account of growing up in Woodstock, Vermont in the 1950s, The Long Light of Those Days, has become a New England classic. Now Bruce Coffin is back with Among Familiar Shadows, a more intimate evocation of the people who made the world he grew up in. His portraits of these people-including his own family-are loving but unsentimental. Traveling back through time and memory to stand among their familiar shadows, he shows us how they lived, how they talked, how they raised their children-and how they dealt with tragedy. "This moving and beautifully written book deserves a wide audience." -John Elder, author of Reading the Mountains of Home"This is a New England elegy that will endure." -Bill Henderson, Editor, Pushcart Prize"What pure delight in story telling!" -Marcia Butler, author of The Skin Above My Knee
