There’s so much fine, freewheeling observation and pillowy erudition here, it’s tempting just to sink in.”— The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n 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 faraway forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forward with his life.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n But Miles is a man of many enthusiasms, one who possesses, in Kate’s words, a great capacity “to fall in with anyone, anywhere.” And no sooner does he arrive than 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, from a Shakespearean temptress to a photographer of snowflakes obsessed with chronicling, on thousands of index cards, the world’s delusions in an Inventory of Wrong Ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n The new friends, the enchanted woods, the histories: sure, no PhD, but all good fun. Until Miles stumbles upon a bizarre—perhaps ridiculous—local legend, which, he soon suspects, might not be just a legend after all.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Joyous, absurd, and life-affirming, Country People is a luminous exploration of marriage and parenthood, the nature of belief and the power of stories, and the ways in which we find connection in an increasingly fragmented world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52740252205272,"sku":"YSL8289","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/91ne5NA2SQL._SY1500.jpg?v=1792566558","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0fv5pz3ds","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
