Sweet.

A little violence, a few bad words.

And, another man's name in the title - three in a row.

Borrowed on Hoopla through JCPL.

Listening length four hr 20 min

Another of Wendell Berry's masterpieces. I've read Jayber Crow, but this one was much easier to read due to it's shorter length. Highly recommend!

Feels like a pairing with Andy Catlett, similar styles while this takes more of a coming of age approach. Such a straightforward, melodious read, something to ease the mind, while touching of life’s hardships and masculine relationships for a young boy.

What a wonderful character book. Very slow burn....nothing much happens - but that’s like saying nothing happens in Moscow Gentleman. Everything happens. Life happens. This is such a lyrical book (I listened to it) and if you like descriptive , almost poetic language, this book is for you. I am definitely going to read the rest of this 10 book series.

I read Jayber Crow and loved it. Starting the whole series. This one was slower but I appreciate that in a way.
