William Maxwell approaches the stories of his ancestors with the same quiet honesty and love you see him apply to his fictional characters, and with the same understanding humor. I thoroughly enjoyed this look at his family. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

One year later, and I finally started this book. Maxwell is not an author that demands you read him RIGHT. NOW. He sits patiently on your shelf, knowing you will get to him when the time is right. And his quiet gentle prose is timeless. Whenever you get to his books will be the right time. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! 3y
