{"product_id":"the-rural-life-3","title":"The Rural Life","description":"This \"luminous, brilliant\" meditation on life in the countryside will encourage you to see the natural world -- and our place in it -- anew (New York Times Book Review).\n\nWith an eloquence unmatched by any other living writer, Verlyn Klinkenborg observes the juncture at which our lives and the natural world intersect. His yearlong meditation on the rigors and wonders of country life -- encompassing memories of his family's Iowa homestead, time spent in the wide-open spaces of the American West, and his experiences on the small farm in upstate New York where he lives with his wife -- abounds with vicarious pleasures for the reader as it indelibly records and celebrates the everyday beauty of the world we inhabit.\n\n\"In a voice reminiscent of E.B. White, Klinkenborg paints a picture of a fading world in colors that are solid and authentic. His joy is evident throughout.\" --Los Angeles Times\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316735515\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316735515.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Klinkenborg, Verlyn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
