Interesting read but I grew to dislike the narrator (author) so it was a struggle. An example of why I became annoyed was an episode in the novel when the author and her partner attend a goat auction in Texas and find it hilarious that a Native American there is adamant that they not take his oicture...so they sneak a picture of him and laugh about how crazy he was and their assumption that he did not want his picture taken because he was doing something shady....Umm, perhaps he had a reason to request that his picture not be taken?!? ( ) I was given an advance readers copy the last time I went to Maine. It's more about breadth than depth, more about the portraits of the people drawn into the goat industry and the author's insights in the face of the question, "Could we do this?" The cover here is the cover on the ARC. I like it much better than the cover that's currently on Amazon -- I think the gold border is ugly, and the content (the herd) feels less personal. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A fascinating one-year sojourn across America in search of greener pastures—and the finest goat cheese * Many people dream of leaving the workaday world for a life of simplicity and freedom, and Margaret Hathaway and her then-boyfriend Karl did just that. InThe Year of the Goat, the reader can jump in the “goat mobile” with them as they ditch their big-city lifestyle to trek across forty-three states in search of greener pastures and the perfect goat cheese. Along the way, the reader is introduced to a vivid cast of characters—including farmers, breeders, cheese makers, and world-class chefs—and discovers everything there is to know about goats and getting back to the land. But readers beware: When it comes to goat cheese, it can be love at first bite. “Hathaway’s descriptions of the various characters they meet—both human and goat—are funny and vivid. . . . This is a book for anyone who’s ever imagined going back in time to a simpler life—or anyone who loves cheese.”—Entertainment Weekly “Back-to-the-land fantasies aren’t new, but Hathaway gives theirs a modern twist.” —Publishers Weekly Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
