Reseña del libro "An Act of Remembrance & Other Mostly True Historical West Virginia Stories (en Inglés)"
Heartwarming, tragic, whimsical ... a delightfully told range of stories.From the real-life widow whose world was shattered by the massive 1906 mine explosion in Monongah, to the real-life lovers who lived out their eighty-three-year marriage in the place now known as Hundred, An Act of Remembrance & Other Mostly True Historical West Virginia Stories invites readers to experience history as it really happens-through the human experience of those who live it.A wonderful series of intriguing reads. ... As a native West Virginian and devotee of Appalachian fiction, I devoured each of these stories. Randy Safford ... depicts dignified characters, many with flaws, in difficult or peculiar situations ranging from George Washington in the eighteenth century to a nursing student facing the twenty-first century coronavirus pandemic. A set of historical notes tells where the known facts end and the author's imagination begins.-Mary Lucille DeBerryAuthor, Bertha Butcher's CoatA compelling collection of short stories ... describing ordinary people in extraordinary moments of local history that are also pivotal events in American history. A country girl moves to bustling Fairmont during Prohibition, an old ferryman on the Cheat River meets George Washington again after the Revolution, mummified ladies wait their turn in a small-town beauty parlor, and an old man and his granddaughter find an heirloom tomato after a flood. ... While this work is fiction, its base is history and its core concern is the lives of ordinary men and women caught in the currents of a particular time.-Marie Tyler-McGraw Author, In Bondage and FreedomEvery state should have collections like this! ... An imaginative honoring of West Virginia history. Safford brings to life little-known historical events and quirky true stories with empathetic insight into the minds and hearts of his memorable characters. An entertaining and enlightening read.-Stephanie Kadel TarasAuthor, Mountain Girls
