Jayber Crow
FROM SARAH:
Wendell Berry’s storytelling is tender, wise, and steeped in the rhythms of rural America. He offers a meditation on the quiet heroism of an ordinary life faithfully lived. Jayber Crow invites readers to lean in and rediscover what it means to be part of a community that offers belonging and relentless love. I’d recommend it for readers 15+.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
“This is a book about Heaven,” says Jayber Crow, “but I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell.” It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town's barber.
Wendell Berry’s clear-sighted depiction of humanity’s gifts―love and loss, joy and despair―is seen though his intimate knowledge of the Port William Membership.
