5.0 out of 5 stars
Mr. Jager perfectly captures the rhythm of this small town.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Last House on the Road: Excursions into a Rural Past (The Concord Library) (Hardcover)
Ron Jager has used his considerable store of dry wit and keen
sense of observation to create a book that wonderfully portrays life
in a small New Hampshire town.
His book is consistently entertaining, whether meditating on
nature as observed near his pond or contemplating the ups and downs
of life in a town that still practices the most basic form
of participatory democracy - the annual town meeting. Mr. Jagers
rural life does not begin in New Hampshire however. He also
gives us glimpses of his own boyhood in the midwest; a background
that makes him uniquely qualified to write about rural life in
a very different part of the United States.
Clearly the people that appear in this book are not just subjects
but neighbors and friends and his affection for them and for his
"last house on the road" come shining through.
