Opis

A charming group of short stories describing life in Newport, Rhode Island as seen through the eyes of a child growing up in the 1950s and 1960s. Newport Tales recounts true stories of the period, including a retelling of the Kennedy wedding from the locals' point of view, the story told by an old woman about the American Centennial, perspectives on the politics of the period including the civil rights movement as seen from the vantage point of a small New England town, and the history of an Irish American family in Rhode Island in the 19th and 20th centuries.
