### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I liked certain parts of it quite a bit
  

*by T***! on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2015*

I found this book to be both intriguing and frustrating.  I liked certain parts of it quite a bit, including the idea of following two people starting their lives together as a married couple struggling to scratch out a place for themselves in the world.  We hear the story through the eyes of a young, poor woman who has worked hard her entire life supporting first her poor family and her sick parents and then her new husband, who cannot seem to hold a job.  The story is told in her simple, uneducated voice, in spare and rough prose.  You get to know and care about the characters, especially the narrator.  Her relationship with her husband and mother in law is drawn particularly well.  But then there were parts of the book that I found distracting and disagreeable.  The books delves far too much into religion for my taste - so much so that I looked up the author on the internet to figure out if he was a pastor or a fundamentalist.  It seemed unnecessary and distracting.  If I wanted bible fiction, which I most assuredly do not, I would have looked for it.  It had no place in this book. I also found the very detailed descriptions of life on a poor farm more than necessary - I get it, they are poor, and their life on the farm is very hard.  But do we really need page after page of descriptions on how to kill, disembody and slice up a pig?  I don't.All that being said I did end caring about the characters quite a bit.  I'm torn as to whether I want to read the sequel to the book to find out what happened to them.  I think so, but if it's going to be another bible thumping religious creed I'm not interested.  If digressions into the Bible and Jesus, or detailed renditions of life on a farm are not your things, stay away.

    Pleasure to read.

It was like stepping back in time. You can feel the evolution of the characters with every success and failure they experienced.

    A Poetic Treatment of Hard Life on a Farm
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2017*

This book does what no other book has done in the way it describes hard work, daily living, and farm life. I found myself fascinated with descriptions of even the most mundane of tasks. In fact, all of the small tasks the characters do regularly helps to shape their character as well as the reader's understanding and view of them. The relationships are realistic and rather unsatisfying, which I liked. Nothing is clean-cut and dry, which I also appreciated. The ending was too abrupt, though. I don't care that there's a sequel; the author should have ended the book differently, perhaps in a different place in time.The basic story follows a young woman, her marriage to a difficult man, their difficulties living alone together on an isolated farm far from family, and the events and people who eventually help to strengthen their relationship with one another and who help to provide the sense of community they need. As I wrote above, even the most ordinary details are delicious. The book is written in a mesmerizingly poetic cadence, turning a hard life into music and beauty.
