River Time: The Frontier on the Lower Neuse - Janet Lembke

[Luke]

River Time: The Frontier on the Lower Neuse, Janet Lembke, 1989, United States, NONFICTION

"...Janet Lembke is a recent but permanent resident who sees herself as in "a halcyon season, the calm that comes after years of child-rearing, the calm before infirmity overtakes the one parent left to us, before we ourselves lose our vigor." Her descriptions of this place and its people are loving, acerbic, enlightening, and entertaining, and while she and her neighbors wouldn't want you to visit, you might just end up wanting to."
