Short stories that link together like trees in a forest' Jackie MorrisOn  a clear Kentucky night in 1888, a young woman risks her life to save a  stranger from a drunken mob. Almost a hundred years later, her  great-grandson Andy climbs a hill at the edge of town, and is flooded  with memories of all he has lived, seen and heard of the past century -  of farmers wooing schoolteachers and soldiers trudging home from war; of  the first motor car, the Great Depression and Vietnam; of neighbourly  feuds and family secrets; of grief and betrayal - and of  great  friendship that endures for a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are Wendell Berry's  tales of Port William, a little farming community nestled deep in the  Kentucky River valley. They unravel the story of a town over the course  of four generations, lovingly chronicling the intertwined lives of the  families who call it home. Affectionate, elegiac and wry, these  uplifting rural fables invite us to witness the beauty and quiet heroism  at the heart of each ordinary, interconnected life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43925258502403,"sku":"9780141990248","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9780141990248_4bd0d9ea-3a20-4eac-94b1-969faab9aedf.jpg?v=1731404892","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com\/products\/9780141990248","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
