A Great Summer Read

LIFE AT 12 COLLEGE ROAD, by Eric Mondschein is a perfect book to take with you to the beach or wherever you go for your summer vacation. Eric Mondschein is a born story-teller and from the very first page I was drawn in to his tales of life as a boy in the 1950’s. Flooded with my own memories of simpler times and endlessly entertained by the complex machinations only children seem to be able to get away with, I was riveted to the stories. I found myself at times  laughing until tears ran down my face and just as quickly drawn back into the author’s quiet reflections.

I was so taken with Mondschein’s stories that I passed the book along to my husband. He loved it just as much as I did. It brought back his long forgotten memories of a similar childhood in a similar time. I enjoyed it vicariously for a second time, laughing when he laughed and talking about our favorite parts. Written in vignettes, it’s a book you can enjoy during quiet moments in a busy summertime schedule or lazy hours on the beach.

If there’s a “Boomer” man in your life, you’ll want to share this book with him.  It’s a perfect Father’s Day gift.  Just be sure you read it first!
