    <![CDATA[ In this beautifully written and frequently funny memoir, Catherine Goldhammer, newly separated,  along with her twelve-year-old daughter, starts life anew in a cottage by the sea, in a rustic town  where live bait is sold from vending machines. Partly to please her daughter and partly for  reasons not clear to her at the time, she begins this year of transition by purchasing six baby  chickens&#151;whose job, she comes to suspect, is to pull her and her daughter forward out of one  life and into another. An unforgettable story filled with hope and grace, <em>Still Life with  Chickens</em> shows how transcendent wisdom can be found in the most unlikely of places.]]>
