I adore this book. Intelligent essays on rural life in New England, published in 1980.
Very relevant during this current boom of back-to-the-landers buying up old farms and making them run again.
Living in a similar location, there were many topics that made me smile and felt familiar (the year round work of wood heat...making apple cider...small town gossip), as well as many subjects where I could stand to learn a thing or two, and did.
