The Memory of Old Jack by Wendell Berry

4.0

Lyrical prose that lets you experience rural farming Kentucky life during the first half of the 20th century. Old Jack is both ordinary and extraordinary in his devotion to his farm, hard work and sense of duty. He reflects on pain and disappointments as well as love and triumphs in his long life. It made me think about mortality and what a good life lived means. It made me miss my mother who passed away earlier this year.
