"Atmospheric and quietly moving: a tale that manages to avoid outright bathos as it makes its way along the narrow boundary between memoir and nostalgia." First line"I picked him up in my arms and I carried him home." So Nathan would end the last of the stories of his childhood as he told it to our children. This was in 1940. Nathan was sixteen. Publisher's noteThe author's celebration of life in a Kentucky town continues with his latest installment--the stories of Port William matriarch Hannah Coulter, an eighty-year-old woman who has been widowed twice and has watched the town's sense of community gradually deteriorate. AnnotationHannah Coulter, wife of Nathan--both of them perennial characters in Wendell Berry's series of novels and stories set in Port William, Kentucky--is now an old woman looking back on her life. As she ponders her childhood, her two marriages, her children, and now her aloneness--and tries to accept the fact that the family farm may be taken from her--she also ponders the changes time has wrought in the community where she has lived for all her 80-odd years.
