A 20 something New Yorker inherits a run down farm in Canada from an uncle she has never met. She decides to relocate and change the direction of her life. Farm comes complete with useless land, a grumpy tenant, depressed half-sheared sheep and soon acquires a neighbor that is a 30- something yr old cyberblogging alcoholic shut-in and a very serious 11 yr old girl with a passion for chickens.
Susan Juby's first adult novel makes you want more.... It's tough not to call The Woefield Poultry Collective "heartwarming. " It's that rare book that makes you feel good after reading it, without it ever being "good for you." So, yes -it's heartwarming. And yes, it's quirky. And, to be honest, I never could resist a book with a chicken on the cover. My only complaint might be that I wanted to hang out with these characters a little longer... Susan Juby certainly gives us many reasons to keep breathing, not least the hope that another of her novels will quickly make it to a bookstore near us
"Prudence Burns, a well-intentioned New Yorker full of back-to-the-land ideals, just inherited Woefield Farm--thirty acres of scrubland, dilapidated buildings, and one half-sheared sheep. But the bank is about to foreclose, so Prudence must turn things around fast!"--p. [4] of cover. No library descriptions found.
