A Christmas Memory, including One Christmas and The Thanksgiving Visitor by Truman CapoteMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is a set of three short stories by Truman Capote set during the holiday season. The stories include A Christmas Memory, One Christmas, and The Thanksgiving Visitor. They follow a young boy named Buddy and his relationship with cousin Miss Sook. These stories are somewhat autobiographical in nature and show the innocence of a young boy in the rural depression-era south. Buddy recalls fruitcake making time, a trip to visit his dad for Christmas, and a particular Thanksgiving day when their family had a visitor who needed some special understanding and forgiveness. These are great stories that can be read over and over during the holidays.
