Delightfully engaging

Recensito in Canada il 22 marzo 2014

This has something for everybody. Historically and personally fascinating. The story provides a vehicle for the fragility of humanity and the power to overcome . A sensitive look at the best in all of us and the miracle of life we take for granted everyday.

Charming Portrayal of Multigenerational Family Life

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 febbraio 2014

Acquisto verificato

Bernice L. Rocque’s novella, Until the Robin Walks on Snow, leaves one charmed by an era in our recent past in which grandparents and grandchildren were each other’s best friends, in which extended families helped one other withstand severe hardships, in which people of all generations appreciated age-old customs for the social glue they provided, and in which simple amusements produced immense joy for all. Author Rocque infuses her touching novella with all these uplifting attributes in such an endearing fashion that one is left to ponder—no matter how much one embraces everything that is right and good about modern social progress—just how much has been lost and, more to the point, just how much can still be retained.

One chapter in the novella masterfully illustrates the excitement, cooking, decorating, toasting, celebrating, story sharing, and various forms of communion associated with a traditional Eastern European Christmas Eve in a New England immigrant enclave of the 1920s. The scenes are replete with rich and fascinating cultural details interwoven with action and dialogue. This isn’t a ritualized family gathering; there is plenty of genuine heartache. But almost anyone reading this story would love to be part of this family because of its resilience under duress.

One especially enchanting feature of this novella is its portrayal of a grandfather’s tender relationship with his granddaughter. This novella could be uniquely meaningful for middle school readers, because it could spark their interest in their own grandparents and encourage the young to cultivate their relationships with the old while they still have the chance. If this novella could inspire that to happen, then it will have not only painted a vivid picture of multigenerational family life, but it will have helped to rekindle it.

Disappointed dialogues.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 24 novembre 2021

Acquisto verificato

Interesting premise, but no plot. Extremely dry and unrealistic dialogues. I almost expect family members to bow to each other after each conversation. Even in the given time people weren't that stiff!
And no way 4 /5 year old would address mother as ' matka' regardless of time period. Most likely would be 'mama' or in these times 'matus'. Mentioned Christmas tradition' generally accurate, varied from region to region , even within the same country.
As a midwife I attest that newborn 'skin to skin' contact immediately after birth is extremely important for its benefits and practiced in every maternity hospital it in the UK.
As for the story, sorry, but it read as perhaps university paper (minus exaggerated and dry polite dialogues) not as a book.

A moving account of immigrant experience

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 gennaio 2014

Acquisto verificato

If you have ever enjoyed listening to stories of how hard it was 'back then' this is a book for you. Careful research and authentic detail lead the reader into the lives of an immigrant family in the early 1900s as they cope with a premature birth and a wicked winter. There is a warmth of cultural detail, and family interactions; the reader is there at the table as the family celebrates Christmas, the baby's survival, the robin heralding spring and the relief of having made it in this new country.
A good read, I read it twice in one sitting. The book would be a great introduction for secondary schools to a unit on immigration or family history. So many stories in so many families - this one is authentic, touching and inspirational.

Heartwarming Story of Friendship and Survival

Until the Robin Walks on Snow

"Until the Robin Walks on Snow" is a poignant tale of friendship, a mother's love and a family's faith and sacrifice. As I snuggled down into a comfy armchair to begin this novella based on a true story I quickly found myself drawn into a by-gone era and the world of this immigrant family that struggles against tremendous odds in their attempt to keep a premature infant alive through the winter of 1922. I enjoyed how Bernice Rocque weaves into her story well researched historical information such as small details about modes of transportation, Eastern European traditions and religious beliefs, the difficulty immigrants faced in finding employment, Prohibition etc. In doing so she brings the era to life. After reading the book in one sitting I found myself looking forward to more stories of Marianna and her family from this new author. I have purchased several copies as Christmas gifts for friends and relatives all of whom were born American citizens because their own grandparents or great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. during the 1920's. "Until the Robin Walks on Snow" is a heartwarming book for the holidays or anytime.
