This book solidified my admiration of W.B., after I loved *Hannah Coulter* in audio book form last summer but disliked *Jayber Crow* a few years ago. Maybe I just didn't appreciate J.C.'s "kidult" persona. In any case, this collection of short stories has one that just astonishes at the end with its beauty, and the others provide the warmth of the world W.B. has created through his books. It is tiresome that the only really unlikable person in the book is an "outsider" from the city. Must we? This is the thing that reminds me that W.B. has some flaws. :-)

Really good stories about life, families and living in the country in the USA. I liked the writing and descriptions of the countryside in different kinds of weather and times of day. ASC
