review 1: A quiet novel that opens up into memoir (or does it? The reader can decide). It made me want to write down all the stories my family tell, to track down my parents, my aunts and uncles, and jot down their memories. I know that Jaramillo is skilled and talented, but his prose feel effortless; he makes the past shimmer. He creates such beauty in simple moments, and lets the reader believe that the small moments of her own life might be beautiful too.
review 2: A charming story of a family told through glimpses and snippets. I can see why this author won a short story award. I could relate to the 1950's through current day family context in our local area, it takes place in Everett. Although sparse for style, I could just about picture the woods around the hous... moree, the lake, the children and Gretel the dog that almost died but lived to 24. Definitely worth my time and enjoyable as a refreshing change from what I normally read. less
