Second Person Rural: More Essays of a Sometime Farmer [Paperback]

Noel Perrin (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

You have to admire how Perrin lets the language break down into little fragments, hard stones left by a receding glacier. It isn't easy to talk about the soul, and New Englanders have as hard a time as anyone. Perrin's writing mirrors that difficulty, that ingrained reticence. --Alex Hanson, Valley News

Noel Perrin is great. I love all his books about living the simple, back-to-the-land rural life written by someone who is not quite an outsider and not quite an insider.
