Wendell Berry is the author of fifty books of poetry, fiction, and essays. He was recently awarded the Cleanth Brooks Medal for Lifetime Achievement by the Fellowship of Southern Writers and the Louis Bromfield Society Award. For over forty years he has lived and farmed with his wife, Tanya, in Kentucky.
T.S. Elliot Award-winning author Berry's series set in the imaginary town of Port William, KY, and begun in 1960 with the story of Nathan Coulter comes full circle with this offering containing the reminiscences of his widow, Hannah. Now alone on her farm, Hannah recounts her life starting with her Depression-era childhood. Narrator Susan Denaker (The Double Bind) manages to impart the feeling that the listener is seated across from Hannah at her kitchen table as she tells her story, making this audio edition extremely successful. Highly recommended for fiction collections in all public, academic, and church libraries.
