Haunting, lovely, and memorable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I have been a fan of Warren's writing for many years. He is known for his novels, yet in many of those the most poignant and moving parts are the inserts, the chapters placed there to highlight the main story. Cass Mastern evokes so much, that it is impossible to imagine AKM without it. Warren achieves much the samee here...while not every story is a masterpiece, at least 2, The Circus in the Attic, and Blackberry Winter, will linger long in the memory. These are stories of a different era, slow, warm, evocative, suggestive and delightful.
