So a boy can''t steal the star.\"''\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelected from across Truman Capote''s writing life, these Christmas stories range from nostalgic, semi-autobiographical portraits of childhood to more unsettling tales of darkness beneath the festive glitter. In the Deep South of Capote''s youth, a young boy, Buddy, and his beloved maiden ''aunt'' Sook forage for pecans and whiskey to bake into fruitcakes, make kites - too broke to buy gifts - and rise before dawn to prepare feasts for a ragged assembly of guests; while in other stories, a lonely woman has a troubling encounter in wintry New York and an unlikely festive miracle, of sorts, occurs at a local drugstore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrimming with feeling, these sparkling tales convey both the wonder and the chill of Christmas time.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57019375583567,"sku":"9780241474426","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780241474426_1-christmas-memory-a.jpg?v=1770927959","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/christmas-memory-a","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
