This is an engaging book. It's language is so deftly crafted that I wanted to read each and every line slowly and deliberately - because if I hurried through this small book, I would miss the subtle nuances of the characters' unique personalities. Going 'back to the farm' is an eye-opening adventure, one that echoed my own going back to the small town where I was raised. A good read.
