COUNTRY MATTERS The Pleasures and Tribulations of Moving from a Big City to an Old Country Farm House

When a world traveler and city dweller moves to a farm in the country, adjustments to daily life become adventures in skill and insight. Bestselling author Michael Korda and his wife, Margaret, begin by looking for a weekend house, and find growing appeal in rural life. Michael Page captures the author’s British tone and attitude beautifully. Sometimes thoughtful, other times condescending, Page and Korda convey both understated humor and appreciation of the challenges of old houses and older culture. Impeccable pacing overcomes the occasional mispronunciation in this entertaining must-read for anyone contemplating such a move. R.P.L. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 01]
