Readers will meet, and perhaps recognize from their own lives, grandparents and other relatives from Eastern Europe; influential public school teachers; some public figures whom he has known, Julia Child among them; and a host of other fascinating people from New England and beyond, including a Hebrew-speaking Muslim from the Northern Caucasus Republic of Adygeya and a P.L.O. leader from Jericho in the West Bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally written over several years for the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript of Peterborough, New Hampshire, these essays are united by the author’s sense of irony and the unexpected.

Whether writing about a caring neighbor, an encounter with governmental bureaucracy, or the surprise endings that often occur in life, Steinfield has taken his storytelling skills and used them to recount a life well lived. Claremont Boy: My New Hampshire Roots and the Gift of Memory will resonate with readers everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bauhan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027461095664,"sku":"9780872331730","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780872331730_p0.jpg?v=1763835385","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780872331730","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
