### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Probably worth your time
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2014*

This mid-length novel details the lives of Enid, Felix and Lyle Stevick very well, weaving them together in violent, explicit and tragic ways to show a tapestry of life in America’s “golden years”. Though published in 1987, You Must Remember This exposes taboo topics from the fifties. This novel will cultivate readership today and tomorrow because these “forbidden” topics of childhood sexuality, lust, governmental distrust, death, mortality, self-control and rebellion remain relevant.Oates depiction of a grey, dilapidated fictitious town in upstate New York is uncanny and parallels real-life upstate New York well (sorry Buffalo people). Through her excellent writing, Oates makes this novel worth the read even with an unclear resolution. Maybe this was her intention, to startle, shock and jolt the reader into a new perspective on adolescent sexuality and our own mortality.Grab a large glass of cabernet, your leopard print snuggie and slightly overweight cat and get ready for a gripping and powerful novel that will erase your weekend.Final book rating:82/100

*by L***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2016*

A deep, moving and fascinating portrayal of a family in the mid-1950s.  Ms. Oates is a very good writer and she is really able to evoke a sense of time and place.  Most importantly, she gives us complex, real characters.  As is often the case with her novels, this one made me a little uncomfortable as it dealt with sensitive issues; in this case, there is violence and incest.  She doesn't shy away from describing these issues, but doesn't glorify them either.  It is the REALNESS of her writing that grabs me every time.

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2019*

Never have I received such a quick & carefully wrapped book!  In the wettest area of the U.S. that's very important.  Enclosed was a beautiful Victorian thank you note. Book was everything promise. I'll definitely look for Gene's Books!
