This, the first title in the Port William series, introduces the
rural section of Kentucky with which novelist Wendell Berry has had
a lifelong fascination. When young Nathan loses his grandfather,
Berry guides readers through the process of Nathan's grief,
endearing the reader to the simple humanity through which Nathan
views the world. Echoing Berry's own strongly held beliefs, Nathan
tells us that his grandfather's life "couldn't be divided from the
days he'd spent at work in his fields." Berry has long been
compared to Faulkner for his ability to erect entire communities in
his fiction, and his heart and soul have always lived in Port
William, Kentucky. In this eloquent novel about duty, community,
and a sweeping love of the land, Berry gives readers a classic book
that takes them to that storied place.
