This is Thinking-Reed *Smile* and I have reviewed Deux-Mille Mémoires. A description of rural life among an extended family of French Canadian origin in central New Hampshire the 1950s. How memories can be riggered by photographs!


Specifics Line 21 Whether by choice or if bad weather
Line 10 from bottom '..albums rather than on digital...'

A very well written appreciation of life back in the 1950s, the nostalgia is evoked well, but there is also action. The description of the dog becoming mixed up with the eel and the fishing line is excellent. The sadnesses and losses relating to the family tensions surrounding a child conceived out of wedlock are likely to be less nowadays. Perhaps the only way in which life nowadays could be said to have improved.

Thank you so much for sharing treasured memories which are described so beautifully.
