All the stories are works of fiction. They are the author''s look into long-ago lives, both of her Irish Catholic family and of imagined characters who might have joined them in their daily goings on, in a period of time that stretches from the thirties through the fifties. Whether the characters are swimming at Scovill''s Dam on a hot summer day and wondering what is beneath that water or telling stories around the kitchen table on a rainy afternoon, making a pilgrimage to Saint Anne de Beaupre in Canada to request a baby or bearing gifts to a birthday celebration with mixed results, their stories are presented in a way that shows how insightful commonplace occurrences can prove to be.Bold as Brass is the authors second book, deliciously anecdotal, and a true companion to her first book, The View from Cracker Hill, a memoir of 1950s Waterbury. These are stories of working-class people, of whom Betty notes in \"Saturday Night Swells,\" the idea that \"ordinary people can have extraordinary moments is a wonderful discovery.\" The author says, \"I echo Betty''s sentiment, and I am delighted to share these stories.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53037052723479,"sku":null,"price":1213.44,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781483635910.jpg?v=1781072520","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/bold-as-brass-9781483635910","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
