描述
By: Wendell Berry | Series: Port William
In the second book of the beloved Port William series, Wendell Berry weaves a portrait of a community bound by war, loss, and hope, where "the earth is the genius of our life" and final questions find their answers
Published in 1967, we return to Port William during the Second World War to revisit Jayber Crow, the barber, Uncle Stanley, the gravedigger, Jarrat and Burley, the sharecroppers, and Brother Preston, the preacher, as well as Mat Feltner, his wife Margaret, and his daughter–in–law Hannah, whose son will be born after news comes that Hannah’s husband Virgil is missing.
"The earth is the genius of our life,” Wendell Berry writes here. “The final questions and their answers lie serenely coupled in it."
