Coles Athens - Reminiscences of the Life & Times of the Porter Hall Family Before, During & After the War at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
"Athens" is a sprawling family saga set against the backdrop of Athens, Georgia, that captures the heart and soul of a place and its people. The Porter-Hall family is a cast of unforgettable characters, each with their own unique story to tell. Through the use of magical realism, the author weaves together the disparate threads of these lives, creating a tapestry of human experience that is both profound and moving. The journals, letters, and diaries are like snapshots of a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the hopes, dreams, and struggles of these ordinary yet extraordinary people. The Colonel's anecdotes are a testament to the power of storytelling, revealing the universal truths that underlie our human experience. And the characters themselves are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, enduring loss, pain, and hardship with a grace and dignity that is truly inspiring. But what makes "Athens" truly remarkable is the way in which it captures the essence of a place and its people. Like Steinbeck's "East of Eden" or "The Grapes of Wrath," this is a book that speaks to the soul of America, and to the fundamental struggles and aspirations that define us as a people. In the end, "Athens" is a masterpiece of American literature, a book that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page. It is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, and a reminder of the infinite capacity of the human heart for love, loss, and redemption.
