“I love classic literary and historical fiction like Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, Laila Ibrahim's Yellow Crocus and Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants and aim to give readers sweeping historical tales filled with characters to love, hate and sympathize with.”

I enjoy Frank McCourt’s books but not sure what he means by this? Maybe that a happy childhood would not bring out all that he shared in “Angela’s Ashes?” I am sure that he means this in a quirky way! Smiles, Robin

Maybe if your childhood is too happy you’ll be REALLY disappointed in your adulthood! I take it to mean that writers are shaped by their childhoods. Happy childhoods to some seem boring, I guess. But I’m not sure anyone really has one. We romanticize the past but childhood can be scary, depressing and brutal at times . . . it’s hard to write about being happy 🙂 Thanks for making me think about this a little more! have a great weekend.

I so get it, but don’t know how to explain it. That would be his gift, saying it, but never explaining it.
