An American Childhood by Annie Dillard (1987)

Finished: 4/10/22

Grade: A

In this poetic memoir Annie Dillard recounts her childhood, growing up in an affluent Pittsburgh household in the 1950’s.

Dillard makes an impressionist painting of her youth, and sends you drifting down a river of feelings and images to vivid that you can’t help but experience them along with her.

Lovely!
