The Farm in the Green Mountains by Alice Herdan-Zuckmayer
5.0
May 2017 NYRB selection.
So wow. Herdan-Zuckmayer's memoir about her time on a farm in Vermont is wonderful. You meet her goats. More importantly, are the wonderful descriptions of the surrondings as well as mediations on the difference between European and American cultures - in particular trains, women, and libraries.
Wonderful.
Especially about the gander and his duck groupies.
