Dream-like little essays about this odd woman's life, running a farm in the Catskills with many beloved sheep and a large assortment of outlandishly named animals. In general I want something a little different from a farm memoir -- a little more concrete how-to or how it happens and a little less meditative storying. She won me over, though, with excellent prose and the painting of wonderful mental images. Slow, savory and lit from within. ( ) A woman becomes farmer & shepherd, working chiefly alone in a 35 room house with various outbuildings including a barn (its loft collapses). She is a cook, a gardener, works terribly hard in cold weather in the house & out of the house. She loves her animals and raises them chiefly for wool, eggs, milk rather than selling them as food. Does her life seem selfish? I thought this was a surprisingly beautiful book. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

With a devoted following of readers inspired by her underlying appreciation of the world around her, Sylvia's Farm is the sort of ageless story that any reader can pick up and enjoy. Sylvia's Farm is, to quote Kirkus Reviews, "The delight-filled education of an out-of-the-clue shepherdess...." consisting of "....fine-grained, honest rural sketches, on a par with Noel Perrin and Don Mitchell."
