Memory's Keep (Clay Bank County) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)IF YOU OWN WALKING TOWARDS HOME AND LIKED IT YOU WILL LIKE MEMORY'S KEEP EVEN MORE. IF YOU DON'T OWN WALKING TOWARDS HOME YOU WILL WANT IT AFTER READING MEMORYS KEEP. IT IS A BOOK I FOUND I COULD NOT PUT DOWN FOR LONG. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRIGGERFOOT AND MR. PINK EXPLORES COMMON BONDS BETWEEN RURAL FOLKS OF THE SOUTH. IF YOU WERE RAISED AROUND COUNTRY FOLKS IT WILL BE LIKE A VISIT BACK HOME. IF YOU HEARD THESE KIND OF STORIES GROWING UP YOU CAN ADD ANOTHER ONE TO YOUR TREASURE CHEST. THESE RELATIONSHIPS EXISTED THEN AND EXIST TODAY IN THE SOUTH,THOUGH THEY ARE NOT AS PROMINENT BECAUSE OF "PROGRESS" AND THE PAVING OVER OF THE RURAL SOUTH. HOW DO I KNOW? BECAUSE I KNEW FOLKS AND STILL KNOW FOLKS LIKE MR. PINK AND TRIGGERFOOT AND THEIR FAMILIES. IF ALL YOU KNOW OF THE SOUTH IS THE USUAL TRASH IN THE FISHWRAP OR THE T.V. GARBAGE THAT IS DOSED OUT DAY AND NIGHT THIS BOOK WILL BE A MYSTERY TO YOU. BUT IF YOU WERE RAISED IN THE SOUTH AND AT LEAST KNEW OF FOLKS LIKE THIS YOU WILL WANT MEMORYS KEEP.

Kibler is known for his lyrical and poignant tales of Southern agrarianism and his critical examinations of the modern world. In his latest novel, the same themes are explored in the story of Mister Pink Suber, whose five children have moved away after the death of his wife. Alone, he goes on tending his land and livestock while mentoring his young neighbor and friend in the ways of farming and life. It is his deep love for the land and the sensibilities of Celtic imagination that inform us in Kibler's writing, representing what the Agrarians were telling the South and the nation: a way of life that excludes the spiritual side of existence is disastrous to all phases of life.
