About this title: The fun begins when a former editor at Simon & Schuster and his wife move from New York City to an as-yet-unrenovated home, circa 1785, in Dutchess County, New York. Extensive refurbishing of the house, stables, and vast acreage bring a steady cast of quirky country characters in to their lives, and their roster of hobbies grows to include bidding on pigs and making frequent trips to the hardware store. Korda shares the details with wit.

"I finished this book thinking that Korda was a pompus twit with more money than good manners. His condescending observations of his neighbors left me irritated time and time again, as well as the name dropping and implied superiority of himself vs. the "lowly" country folk.
If you discounted the snide comments, the first part of the book was pretty interesting. However, the last 4 chapters became rambling and could have been condensed into one chapter."
