I could not have loved this book more. I read it slowly because it's absolutely a book that must be savored, and I already can't wait to read it again. Beautiful doesn't feel like a strong enough word for the writing of this one. My friend Rebecca wrote a great blog post about where to start reading Wendell Berry, and I'll echo her words on why to read this one: "If you are a good woman, know a good woman, want to believe in good women, read Hannah Coulter. She’s mighty and strong, and yet so tender and human."
