Jacob and Noah Ingledew trudge 600 miles from their native Tennessee to found Stay More, a small town nestled in a narrow valley that winds among the Arkansas Ozarks and into the reader's imagination. The Ingledew saga - which follows six generations of 'Stay Morons' through 140 years of abundant living and prodigal loving - is the heart of Harrington's novel. Praised as one of the year's ten best novels by the American Library Association when first published, this tale continues to captivate readers with its fusion of lyricism and comedy.

Harington has succeeded in creating one of the finest novels in recent years. -- Library Journal

You don't have to be from Arkansas to to appreciate this robust and rollicking novel... -- Columbus Dispatch

About the Author

Acclaimed by critics as "an undiscovered continent" and "Americas greatest un- known novelist" Donald Harington is a brilliant creator of fictional worlds, rooted in his native Arkansas. His imagination is no less expansive than Gabriel Garcia Marquez and his language is rich in a uniquely American, southern idiom. Winner of the Robert Penn Warren Award, the Porter Prize, and the Heasley Prize, were delighted to be publishing With, his thirteenth novel, as well as three new editions of other novels in the Stay More cycle.

A Simple Life

November 19, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

" The Architecture of the Arkansas Ozarks", by Donald Harington is a very moving and enjoyable book that has a very original and authenic flavor.This narrative has a serious component as well as a comical twist. The migration of Jacob and Noah Ingleshaw from Warren County, TN that consisted of 600 miles and finding only one man in the area was a leap of faith. The brothers set out at once to build a shelter that is quite interesting architecture consisting of logs and the progression to the more architecture at the end of the book. The book is about a very primitive beginning to a more sophisticated life style. The coming and settling of more people and the cornbread marriage of Jacob. Many Children were born and more people moved into Stay More. The taking of arms in the Civil War to Joseph becoming governor of Arkansas. Most of their news from outside Stay More was delivered by the peddier that showed up once a year. The last of the line end with the fifth generation male.

A very good book that is interesting as well as historical.

Is it a history or a fairy tale? I didn't want to leave.

Having just finished this almost indescribable book, I feel like I've returned from another dimension where I've lived many lives and come to love generations of characters I won't soon forget. Charming, magical, laugh-out-loud funny, wise, kind, straightforward, unpredictable--all are true of this deeply affectionate story. Honestly, it is unlike anything I have ever read. And I am so glad I happened across it.

Beautifully written, insightful novel.

April 18, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I grew up in the Ozarks, and Donald Harrington's work nails the people, customs and language of the area. I consider "Architecture" the best of Harrington's books. It's historical fiction, but also an insightful commentary on civilization itself. As "progress" changes life (and architecture) in Stay More, Arkansas, you begin to review your own life not in terms of success, or the accumulation of modern conveniences, but in terms of satisfaction, relationships and meaning. Other books go back to the library. This one will stay on my shelf.

Delightful Historic Arkansas!

June 8, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Donald Harington is a 5+-star writer, especially when writing about Arkansas. I have learned more about early Arkansas history in reading his books than I imagined possible. It is a shame that these historic events are not taught in schools, but Mr. Harington has done a yeoman's job of searching out and writing it down for all who are interested. I am interested. Just finished my second book, ready for the third. Check him out - Amazon has them all!

Ozark History with a Side Dressing of Architecture

July 9, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Harington does a great job of weaving actual Newton County events into a story using dialect that is probably reasonably accurate. The reported lack of communication from Little Rock to Newton County during the Civil War seems stretched but the story telling is great. The sex scene descriptions make what could be a very dry tale about architectural changes quite intriguing.

Quirky, fun and it will change your view of the region

I love this book for the characters and places. It's a simple book, but filled with surprising moments and ideas. You will never look at our Ozarks Mountains the same way again!

Not much about architecture, but about interesting people and some houses.

January 29, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Quirky, and many parts are memorable, but sometimes it got a little bit forced so that you were reminded that the writer was trying to be funny, instead of being funny as a side effect of telling a story. It's in the genre of a real-ish place, in US history, with likeable characters.

so You Think You Know Appalachia and the Ozarks?

November 12, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Donald Harington is a brilliant writer--he should be better known. He's captured the language, the personalities, the culture, and the attitudes, common to the Ozarks. He has said that those in Appalachia who were too individualistic for that setting--too solitary, too nomadic--made their way from Appalachia to the Ozarks. Harington writes about the village of "Stay More" in the Arkansas Ozarks--and the "Ingledew" family, over six generations. My father's family came from the Missouri/Illinois Ozarks, so I know how acutely Harington "caught" the setting--both South and North. The book is entirely comic and entirely serious--trust me! It's a great read. Some books I "gulp down"--this one I finished in four settings. Maybe not quite as good as Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain--but in that league.
