Crossing to Safety (Modern Library Classics)

Wallace Earle Stegner

A Beautiful Book of Life-Long Friendship
I've read this novel three times now over the space of about fifteen years, and each time have found it a meaningful and rewarding story of life-long friendship and of the complexity of devotion. Ignoring every opportunity for literary gimmicks, schmaltzy emotional plays, and lazy writing, Stegner instead uses unvarnished prose and relies on the truth of emotionally honest, intellectually aware ...

Another Archer Mayor hit!
Mystery, colorful characters and a candid view of Vermont is again served up in Mayor's THE CATCH. One of my favorite New England authors, the writer both entertains and educates in a straight forward style that makes for another excellent read.

A great gift to the world.......
This is the perfect book to give as a gift to all your friends and family. There is a great deal of useful, researched wisdom in these chapters which will indeed bring your immunity system up to par and working well again. I use raw honey in my tea every morning and apple cider vinegar in my water with iodine. It's a no brainer. We have so many problems with Iodine saturation now. Many decades ...
Big Bucks The Benoit Way: Secrets From America's First Family of Whitetail Hunting

Something for our way of hunting!!!
They say in Wisconsin that the average hunter travels no farther into the woods than about 75 yards from their parked truck. From the still hunting I've done in much of northern Wisconsin, I'd certainly say that seems to be the case. My son told me about this book and he also has the Benoit video which we watched. What a delight to see some hunters hunting, tracking...every sense alive, ...

Surprisingly complex; wonderful for a long read aloud
I have two boys. One of them is just about 8. This book is way above his reading level, but the story is wonderful!! A brief synopsis: two kids - older tweens - go to stay at their grandmother's "haunted" inn. The two kids remind me of Fred and George from Harry Potter; they're just very mischievous. And their mischief wakes the ghosts at the inn. There are "good" ghosts and "bad" ghosts, ...

A Beautiful Book
I absolutely LOVED this book. If you are into cottage gardens, then this book is a must. I am a relatively slow reader, but this book was so wonderfully written and attention-sustaining that I actually read it in about a day. 'Tasha Tudor's Garden' is a true story that describes a year in the life of a fascinating lady, providing an elaborate narrative on how she maintains her animals and ...
Goat Song: A Seasonal Life, A Short History of Herding, and the Art of Making Cheese

Scribner
, 2009
Pastoral insights
Many books of this genre are sentimental, inaccurate, and superficial fluff. GOAT SONG is none of those. Mr. Kessler's descriptions of goats, their personalities, their care demands, and their contribution to the world's health are documented, concisely written, and readable. The literary level of what might seem a pedantic book is elevated by his numerous references to folk literature, world ...

Dog-Friendly Hiking
I had been looking forward to this book's publication since a New Hampshire bookseller told me this summer it was coming soon. I live in Vermont 7 months of the year, and New Hampshire the remaining 5. I own a 4-year-old shepherd/black lab mix, Diamond, who loves to go hiking with me. So this book is perfect for us to plan new adventures. The author has selected hikes which are safe and ...

This cookbook is for anyone who enjoys good food and knows the value of sustainable farming. Knowing the importance of buying locally produced foods, I found this cookbook to be a practical addition to my pantry. The recipes are easy to ...

A beautiful way to shine light on a shameful history
This book has captured the attention of the entire family. We are reading in preparation of seeing the play, "Witness," and have been enjoying getting to know the characters. It has been a beautiful way to introduce many aspects of our country's history that are difficult to discuss, shameful to reflect upon, but necessary to learn. The discussions this book has ignited between my ten-year old ...

A beautiful love story
How refreshing and rare to read a love story about a devoted couple in their elder years. And how wonderful to read a mature voice in a debut novel -- three cheers! Sweet but not sappy, this well-written novel was so compelling that I hated to see it end. Well-defined characters and loving observations on the examined life fill every chapter. I'm glad I found the recommendation on Elizabeth ...

Sad, but good
Heartbreaking story about the death of the twins....every parents' nightmare. I enjoyed the book despite this fact...adopting a child helped ease the pain....too bad the husband had an affair. I also loved the next door neighbors...it was a good book...one that makes you think about life and its pains and joys. (
