Country People : 'The book of the summer' Mick Herron
type: Product
description: Emily says about Country People: "What a charming book! Country People is a fun and witty story of a Californian family experiencing a year of country living in a small Massachusetts college town. Occasionally veering slightly into the surreal, this was a lovely book to read with a cast of brilliantly eccentric characters. The easily distracted Miles is a very fun protagonist to spend time with - but I’m glad I’m not married to him!" Miles Krzelewski is a devoted husband, a doting father beloved for his outlandish bedtime stories, and the proud owner of a truffle-hunting dog in a land with no truffles. He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he's become a disappointment to his family. So when his wife Kate accepts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the far away forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forward with his life. But Miles is a man of many enthusiasms, who possesses, in Kate's, words, 'a great capacity to fall in with anyone, anywhere'. Soon he finds himself entangled with a cast of characters as colorful as those of any of his folktales - from a ghostly tree surgeon, to a scythe-mad biochemist, a Shakespearean temptress, and a photographer of snowflakes - until at last he stumbles upon a bizarre local legend, which, he begins to suspect, might not be a legend at all.
