In this luminous, loving, bittersweet yet redemptive memoir MacGuire raises personal biography to a higher plane as he engages what the late priest-sociologist Andrew Greeley defined as the Catholic Imagination: the art of seeing the details of this world in all its variety--from the mundane to the sublime--as sacramental. His touch is light, his wit sparkling, his descriptions evocative. Oscar Wilde got it right: 'life imitates art.' MacGuire's artful landscape with figures is life-enhancing., The Homecoming Seasons is wonderfully well written. Readers who have never been to Cedarhurst, never had family, never had friends, never played a sport, never looked up to someone or never struggled with life will adore this book. Those who have lived--are living--some or all of those things will enjoy it even more., The Homecoming Seasons is a pure, beautiful recollection of life on the South Shore of Long Island during a time when the author raises his family and recounts how nature changes during the seasons... Anyone who has hit middle age will love this book and people who love to read about life and philosophy will pick it up and never put it down., Jamie MacGuire has again written with a clarity of expression, a felicity of phrase and a cadence of tone about characters and venues close to his tone and his memory., This wonderful book describes the triumphs and travails of a family written by a literary man who is always looking below the surface of events and beyond the confines of the ordinary. He is observant of nature, history, customs, parenthood, and what it is to lead a full life.

Synopsis
The Homecoming Seasons: An Irish Catholic Returns to a Changing Long Island is a deeply moving memoir of a returning natives re-experience of his childhood community. After many years abroad as a graduate student at Cambridge, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand, and as a country program director of health care and agricultural programs in central ......, The Homecoming Seasons: An Irish Catholic Returns to a Changing Long Island is James P. MacGuire's poignant memoir of returning to his childhood hometown on the South Shore of Long Island to raise his own family, re-encountering its natural wetland beauty, his late parents' now older friends, and making new ones in a community undergoing transition. The quarter century that the book details is filled with life, death, triumph, and loss, and chronicles, above and below its surface, a fragile yet ultimately resilient world., The Homecoming Seasons: An Irish Catholic Returns to a Changing Long Island is a deeply moving memoir of a returning native's re-experience of his childhood community. After many years abroad as a graduate student at Cambridge, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand, and as a country program director of health care and agricultural programs in central Africa, James MacGuire returned to New York and spent most of the 1980s at Time Inc., Macmillan and the Manhattan Institute. In 1990 he married and several years later, with a second child on the way, he and his wife decamped from Manhattan for a small enclave called the Isle of Wight in the village of Lawrence on the south shore of Long Island, where MacGuire had grown up. This book tells the story of MacGuire's return to this world--how it had evolved from ancient times; been inhabited by indigenous peoples; colonized by the Dutch and English; and then grew from a sparsely populated agricultural corner of western Long Island to an early summer resort, then an outer, and, finally, an inner suburb of New York City. Jamie MacGuire skillfully weaves memories of his childhood in this almost hidden world with sketches of his family and their friends before updating his account with a lovingly detailed, diary-like depiction of returning. His parents' friends now much older, the community more diverse, as he, his wife and children make new friends as they proceed into this changed world. He captures in cinematic detail the wonder of the wetlands and surrounding natural world, the poignant life, death and rebirth of community, the joys and sorrows of marriage and parenthood, and the profound exultation of safely shepherding two beloved sons to triumphant adulthood. This is an uplifting literary memoir that will earn and deserve the widest possible audience., The Homecoming Seasons: An Irish Catholic Returns to a Changing Long Island is a deeply moving memoir of a returning natives re-experience of his childhood community.

- o***l (310)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoThe item was described to a Tee. Very good communication. Shipping was just a little slow. The box the set of books comes in was damaged (bent corners) due to packaging. Not a deal breaker because the grand kids will not store in that box; might be if it were to be given as a present. The three books in the box arrived in prefect shape. I WOULD purchase from greatbookprices1 again in the future. ThanksConstruction Site Board Books Set, Hardcover by Rinker, Sherri Duskey; Lichte...

- i***y (710)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificato2 volumes of Pogo comic strips, new and in perfect condition. Price was good, but shipping cost ($30 for two books) seems like a lot for how long it took to get delivered (23 days from Illinois to Spain). Also, seller communication was not great. First two times I wrote, their response did not address question. Third response explained at length about the private courier service they use and how it should take 1-10 business days to deliver. Maybe they should consider a different courier service.
- r***_ (108)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificato*Same as the other review* Purchased two box sets from this seller with one being advertised as "like new" but was delivered as if it was actually new. Shipping time was a little slow, takes about 10 days to ship out and it takes a while to get through the system. But the packing was great and I'm still overall happy with my purchase.
