Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

From what I can tell, this is closer to an autobiography than anything else. I'm not one hundred percent sure that is based on a true story, but I'm fairly sure it is. It's a fun story so far! A burnt-out editor decides to get a fresh start in life by moving to the countryside and becoming a rice farmer after the magazine he's worked for for 13 years goes under. It's interesting to watch as he navigates how to leave his old job as an editor and try to acclimate as a farmer. He and his wife are both used to living in the city, so living in the countryside is something completely new for them. It's fairly slow-paced and is basically like a slice-of-life story.
