My Father's Summers: A Daughter's Memoir

(4) YA In this autobiographical volume, Appelt recalls a childhood and adolescence spent missing her father--first as he works overseas and later as he leaves her family to marry another woman. Each memory is presented in a single paragraph, some only a sentence or two long, giving the book an impressionistic, often poetic quality; readers may find the format (which hopscotches back and forth in time) choppy and confusing.
