Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Since before sunup Old jack has been standing at the edge of the hotel porch, gazing out into the empty streets of the town of Port William, and now the sun has risen and covered him from head to foot with light."
Industry Reviews
"The account of Jack's courtship of his wife is a beautiful piece of writing...and worthy of a place among the best pieces of prose written by American writers in this century."
Gates
"Few novelists treat both their characters and their readers with the kind of respect that Wendell Berry displays in this deeply moving account."
