Wonderful book! Michael Perry makes raising pigs to slaughter, building a chicken coop, and staying up late with a screaming child seem poetic and lovely! Fond of short titles, this author's last book was Truck: a love story about his courtship of the wife who shows up on Coop, pregnant and eventually giving birth at home. Perry looked at all the women surrounding his wife and decided he needed a dhoula, so he asked his friend, Mills (a guy) to help him out! A nice read for anyone who just wants a relaxing, bucolic tale in the tradition of The Good Good Pig and James Herriott's books..with a little more edge.
