Hannah Coulter

FROM SARAH:

As the perfect introduction to Wendell Berry’s books, Hannah Coulter is like taking a deep breath; it’s a long pause, a moment of quiet in the midst of a world that can be filled with so much noise. We are thrilled to include it in our Mama Book Club library, knowing it will bring so much encouragement and peace to everyone who reads it.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Hannah Coulter is Wendell Berry’s seventh novel and his first to employ the voice of a woman character in its telling. Hannah, the now-elderly narrator, recounts the love she has for the land and for her community. She remembers each of her two husbands, and all places and community connections threatened by twentieth-century technologies. At risk is the whole culture of family farming, hope redeemed when her wayward and once lost grandson, Virgil, returns to his rural home place to work the farm.
