Another delightful book by Rich, My Neck of the Woods is about the neighbors and friends with whom Rich works, lives, employs or just sees on occasion. I love her writing, her descriptions of nature, and in particular her sharing of her friends' personalities, quirks and lives. The work ethic Rich describes in her chapter on hired help was moving and inspiring to me. I sometimes fear that this kind of value, this type of nobility is vanishing from the men and women of today. And so it felt good to read about men who did hard work for the sake of completing work, women who completed tasks because they needed to be done and not so much for the pay. People who stayed over their time because the job needed to be done. No, this wasn't slave labor, but honest, hardworking people who took pride in what they did. And maintained a strong moral code, despite some very difficult circumstances, (sub zero temps, old equipment). Very inspiring and fun to read. I look forward to reading more of Rich's books ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Do you people get that way from living here, or were you all peculiar to start with? someone once asked Louise Dickinson Rich. In her early thirties, she took to the woods with her husband. They found their livelihood and raised a family in the remote Maine backcountry. Louise made time after morning chores to write about their lives, and these magnificent books are the result. They are still captivating readers a half-century later. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
