It begins with a bus ride through the streets of his boyhood which shocked Leslie Paul into the realization that the world of his suburban childhood had disappeared. When he paced the streets again he saw that the whole pattern of life had changed. In this book he looks back on Kitchener Street, and recreates his childhood around the boy Tommy Barnabas. The flavour of street life; the careless boyhood, indifferent to time but wrapt in its own seasons of games; the rich pattern of daily life in a large high-spirited family in small house called Omdurman; the behaviour of aunts and uncles grown fabulous through the passing years - all these are recaptured. The intention of the book is not autobiographical. Memory imagination and good writing evoke the whole flavour and texture of family life in a vanished epoch. The result is a tender and moving picture of childhood by a writer whose work is full of thought and beauty. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
