One of our favorite books, by one of America’s finest writers. If you’ve never read anything by Wendell Berry, this is as good a place to start as any. He’s a poet, essayist, novelist, and farmer, skilled and well-respected at each. This book is part of the reason I forsook the suburbs and moved with my family to the Warren—not to escape community, but to enter into a deeper one.
“In a market saturated with the sensational, with sex and violence and the supernatural, this quiet, reflective novel seems a gift from a world gone by. By the time you finish it, you may wish it didn’t have to go.”—Book Reporter.com
