Meyers has created a stunningly beautiful portrait of farm life. I blazed through the whole thing in about 90 minutes. Granted, I read pretty fast, but I think it would be a pleasant, easy read for nearly anyone. It has the same sort of rhythmic appeal as a book like My Side of the Mountain, but with the lyrical complexity and originality of more heavy duty essayists. For precocious 6th graders and up.

Read in January, 2007
Brought back strong memories of growing up in rural Minnesota and the culture of pitching in to help tend fields when a neighbor experienced illness or death. His portrayal is very accurate.
