A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sweet, tender and achingly sad, this beautiful childhood memory of Truman Capote gathering ingredients for and making fruitcake for Christmas with his childlike and much older cousin had me in tears by the end.
Cruelly separated by life (aka his mother) I wish these two lovely souls had been able to reunite – just once- before the real Sook’s death.
I’m glad Truman carried this memory in his heart.
