This book is so lyrically and descriptively written that you can hear, taste, smell, see, and feel the South. The words fit together so perfectly it is almost as if you can remember the things about which the author writes. As a Southerner who feels that the media sometimes asks us to feel ashamed of the area of my birth, I was thrilled to read the authors impressions were somewhat akin to mine. The South is a wonderful place that is widely misunderstood. Yes, we do have our problems as do the other areas of the country. The author ran from her dysfunctional family, not the South. She proved this when she came back to her roots. The South celebrates the family ties that span the generations, even if some of those ties are unhealthy. The author has painted a word portrait so vivid that the reader feels as if he/she has had an extended visit to the places she describes. Mayes has a sense of place that is rivaled only by Lee Smith. Lee Smith makes the reader"know Appalachia while Mayes lets the reader know the South.
This is a purposefully slow read, a pleasant read.I didn't grow up in the South, any part of it; but I felt a connection to Fitzgerald, Georgia, the author's hometown. Thinking about it now, I think it's a connection to a simpler time that I feel, the kind of life Mayes describes was the life of America's small towns and incipient suburbs of the 1950s. Much of what Mayes describes in terms of social interaction cut across America then.The main differences that I noted were Mayes' emphases on the outdoor life of a Southern girl, the heady atmosphere of Fitzgerald-- the smells of flowers, bushes, rain and river that permeated Mayes' being. This lushness was magnified in her-- and then later in her writing.Outside of the sense of place, Mayes paints a vivid picture of her family. We find out just who her parents were, who her grandfather Jack was,about her beloved maid. These people,most important to her, receive almost microscopic attention so that we really know them and feel what young Frances felt growing up.There's plenty of discord in Frances'young life, plenty of sorrow; but this memoir doesn't come across as bitter, caustic or maudlin. The author mostly escapes her family's troubles through immersion in books, boys and parties. Mayes' early memories and tales will feel familiar in large part, a good life overpowering the bad.
I thoroughly enjoyed Under Magnolia. I have read all of the books by Frances Mayes and am never disappointed. I found the imagery in this book to be very powerful - so evocative of the time. Interestingly I was reading Under Magnolia at the same time as I watched the film The Help. I watched The Help late one night and the next morning when I resumed reading Under Magnolia I felt as though it was familiar - the same feelings, the same sense of the South of the times. If I could write better I would be able to better describe how I felt. It was a very satisfying feeling. I love the way Frances Mayes can draw such wonderful pictures with her words without flowery language. Just a few words to get her message across but words so well chosen. I loved the way she describes her interactions with Willie Bell and the different way she describes her mother and their relationship. Such a variety of emotions - so thought provoking yet so economically described. The young Frances is a brat and gets away with a lot but she's a charmer with a wonderful imagination too. I was sorry when I came to the last page but immensely satisfied too. A lovely book.

Now, while you are reading Under Magnolia and learning all the secrets about her real southern life, and why she was so anxious to leave it, I think I will go with her on a trip to Italy by re-reading Under the Tuscan Sun. Sometimes memoir reads like good fiction, enjoy.
This story is more like a poem than a novel. It is written as a memoir, so there is little suspense about what happens, but the author keeps your attention more by how and what she feels than what she does.The imagery of the South is entirely evocative of the real sights, smells, and sounds that recall memories to anyone who shared them. Her voice sounds to my ear, to be that of a girl like me. It sounds true and familiar. I hear her wistfulness ring throughout, even when she is recalling good times. That's a very Southern, F. Scott Fitzgerald, way to write. By the end of the story, she has given you the story of her life, but you were listening more than reading it.
A well written memory of the author's childhood and adolescence . She does an excellent job of describing the personalities of her family and facing the strong feelings of love while accepting the unpleasantness of some very strong negative perceptions. She can vividly recall the scents and smell of the South. At times I could smell the red dirt and feel the heat of the hot summer in her writing. If you have not experienced chiggers and ticks it would be difficult to appreciate the underlying humor that is evident in her writing. Over all I think it is an excellently told story of coming of age in the 1950-60 South.
