The Magic of Ordinary Days (film)

I watched this film recently as it is now available on you tube.  I thought it was a lovely story of love and redemption.  Certainly a different kind of story, which was set in the countryside of America in earlier times of 1944 during the war years.   Clothing, costumes and settings were quite spectacular and also the way of life of the farming community in those times which were not quite so distant from the present days.

The film also gave an insight into attitudes and values of the times.

 An enjoyable film to watch.

The Grass Harp by Truman Capote

The Grass Harp

A wonderful mesmorising story by Truman Capote which is so

beautiful, poignant and evocative. I loved reading this story by

Truman Capote.

This novella tells the story of an orphan boy who lives with his relatives

from a young age. He befriends a sister of the house and her servant. This

story is set in earlier times in small town America. The story fascinates with

its spitituality and beautiful descriptive writing. The script beckons it is so

wonderful and I would recommend this story.

 

There are also more wonderful stories by the same author included with the story of

The Grass Harp which I m now enjoying reading.    They certainly are different and I

have finished reading Master Misery, which is a story of a girl who sells her dreams.

I look forward to reading more stories by this compelling author.

 

Best wishes and Happy Easter!
