This, the first title in the Port William series, introduces the rural section of Kentucky with which novelist Wendell Berry has had a lifelong fascination.

When young Nathan loses his grandfather, Berry guides listeners through the process of Nathan's grief, endearing the listener to the simple humanity through which Nathan views the world. Echoing Berry's own strongly held beliefs, Nathan tells us that his grandfather's life "couldn't be divided from the days he'd spent at work in his fields".

Berry has long been compared to Faulkner for his ability to erect entire communities in his fiction, and his heart and soul have always lived in Port William, Kentucky. In this eloquent novel about duty, community, and a sweeping love of the land, Berry gives listeners a classic book that takes them to that storied place.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Coulter family, like the rest of the people who dwell in this tiny farming community...are caught on the wheel of nature, which is at once blindingly beautiful and unwittingly cruel....The narrative is stunning, the natural scene is beautifully evoked." ( Los Angeles Times)
Beautiful Writing • Great Character Development • Charming Story • Poetic Descriptions • Realistic Portrayal

A beautiful, gentle, but uncompromising portrait of a place and a time we won’t see again.

A perfect picture

Wonderful slice of life by Mr. Wendell Berry. He's a master at telling the slow story and keeping you hooked the entire time.

Another beautiful work...

A very poetic book about the simple life of yesteryear. A life when your worldly possessions where very few but your life was not about fortune but about working to survive . The purity of purpose is a beautiful thing.

Loved the book

After having read Jayber Crow, this seemed not as good. If I’d read this first, I’m not sure I would have gotten to Jayber Crow and I’d hate to have missed it!

Loved the narrator! The story was excellent as well. Wendell Berry is always good, but a good narrator makes all the difference.

Wendell Berry weaves a bittersweet story that takes me back to my own hometown. I know these people as I love them.

I’m reading Berry’s book, Jayber Crow, which I think I’m going to be so sad to finish; it’s that kind of story.. As I browsed Audible for an audio book for a 200 mile trip, serendipity brought me this one. This too is a lovely story, and just the right length.

Good story for 200 mile trip

Short and sweet, love the way the story flows. It has dips and valleys you wouldn't see coming.

Never loses your interest

I’m disappointed with this book after having read Hannah Coulter. I expected too much from Nathan Coulter, the husband of Hannah for so many years. This book helps the reader know more about Nathan’s early years and his troubled relationship with his father and brother. We learn nothing about his time at war, courtship and marriage to Hannah, or their child rearing.

“We weren't allowing our hopes to become expectations. Expectations are tempting, pleasant, maybe necessary. They are scary too, once you have had some experience. They are not necessarily and not always a bucket of smoke, but they can be and are even likely to be.”

Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter
