A review by spilled
A New Kind of Country by Dorothy Gilman

4.0

I wish I had written this review when I finished the book a few months ago. It's very much a snapshot in her time of when she was a no longer married woman in the 70s whose kids have grown up who learns to find herself apart from the others by going to the coast of Nova Scotia and having a go at a garden. Which sounds perhaps cheesy or red-hat-ladies-esque, but which was actually quite lovely in a quiet and honest way.
