Lena’s review for “Southern Upbringing” by Seth Albee

I like the descriptions of the plantation house and very detailed of the residents’ habits and living. The description of Charles’s mother Harriet reminds me of the roaring 20’s with flapper girls drinking heavily. I like the brief moments of memories of the family to the end of Charles’s parents life. I like the interaction of the Bellvie family with the servants, neighbors, environment, the reverend and his wife. Describe a scene of Charles Sr.’s Death to parallel with the description of Harriet’s death. Include male lovers or lover characters for Charles Sr. to interact with the family as friends but private lovers.
