Recenzii
“Hardwick, a rural, northern Vermont town of about 2,700 people in the throes of The Depression, was where and when Allen Davis grew up. His memoir, The Lucky Generation, focuses on his first 10-15 years. The book is a delightful, detailed story that draws out the strength of family and community, which gave him the foundation he needed to venture into the world and to return with comfort and knowledge the lessons of his youth remain relevant today. The book is a pleasure to read.”
“An absorbing account of one boy’s growing up, filled with fascinating details of small-town life, Because of the depth of detail, The Lucky Generation will endure as a valuable contribution to the historical record of twentieth-century Vermont.”
“Twice this book scores major successes. Not only does Allen F. Davis depict the generational experience of being a lad during the Great Depression and World War II, he also provides the best account of a small-town Vermont boyhood since Robert L. Duffus of the New York Times wrote his two coming-of-age classics: Williamstown Branch (1958) and Waterbury Record (1959). Move over Rob Duffus and make space for Allen Davis from Hardwick, Vermont.”
“A master storyteller, Allen Davis teaches us that every life, every memory, and every object is a portal to the American past. His story invites us into the experience of growing up in small town Vermont, revealed with keen insight into the currents of American history that shaped the rising generation of the Great Depression and World War II.”
“Allen Davis’ idyllic Vermont boyhood vividly captures an aspect of America that most of us only imagine. Like the objects, photographs, and memories it brings to life, this book is a treasure.”
