"A friend highly recommended this author's fiction so I picked up this book and couldn't put it down. Great characters and very insightful and moving observations of life. I can't wait to read another of Berry's novels and stories."
"This was my first experience with Wendell Berry. Berry does an excellent job in chronicling the life of a tobacco farmer from the end of the civil war to the early 1950s. Old Jack reflects on his life as he watches the next generation farming in a small rural town. Berry captures the pain of life as well as its most satisfying moments well.
This was a good introduction into Berry, and one I may continue in the coming years."
"Thisis the first of a series, I will definately sek out the others. This is a great book about a man at the end of his life. The work he did, his values and his homelife. Contains a couple of big suprises."
"I absolutely loved this book. I love the way it was written from the perspective of an old man lost in his memories of his life. I love hearing about an older time. I love Wendell Berry's use of words that so profoundly explain what you think and can't describe. The book is so full of wisdom and metaphors to the life we see now. It is sad and realistic, beautiful and tragic. This will be a book that I will buy and put on my shelf for reading throughout my life. It's a good reminder of from dust we are and to dust we will return. And how a person should act and treat people in between that time. All I can say is thankyou Wendell Berry!!"
