Harvest is at its most enjoyable in its musings on the almost divine connection between the subsistence farmer and his land. I didn't care much for the plot, because there was little of it to begin with, but Crace's prose is quite effortlessly marvelous in places.
It isn't hard for me to praise them fulsomely for what they are as pretty things, a kind of vision of the world - our little world, in fact - that I have never seen before and which has left me moved and oddly breathless. [...] But still I'm left to wonder where we'll be on them in days and years to come. And so my breathlessness. There's something in these shapes and lines, in these casual, undirected blues and greens, that, for all their liveliness, seems desolate.

I actually listened to this on Libby and...it was okay. my favourite scene was when the main protagonist got high off mushrooms. also had nice prose, but aside from that I feel nothing for this book.

Flowing prose that carries you through, but unconvincing characters and plot.
