At times I felt like I could smell a roux being prepared for the next gumbo on a cold rainy night or the strong scent of the initial cloud of smoke from my own grandmother’s rolled cigarette. Morris Ardoin truly captures what it was like growing up in south Louisiana’s Cajun country. As most Cajun’s do, Morris welcomes you into his family and seats you at the table as he serves up the language, the foods, and the way of life that at times made me feel as though I was back in the 60’s and 70’s accompanying him on hunting trips, trips to his Mémère’s or playing a hand of bourré at the kitchen table. What a gifted storyteller Morris is. I hope you take a seat at his table and join him as he shares his loves, his losses, his fears, and his richly intimate and deeply loving emotional bonds he had with his Mémère and Pépère. I highly recommend this book.
