A Country Year by Sue Hubbell
Living the Questions
"A Country Year" is a reflective memoir that captures the author's experiences living alone on a remote Ozarks farm after her divorce. Over the course of a year, she intimately describes the rhythms and changes of the natural world around her, from the behavior of bees (which she keeps for a living) to the patterns of the changing seasons. The book is a blend of personal narrative, nature writing, and philosophical musings, offering insights into the challenges and rewards of rural solitude, the intricate beauty of the environment, and the resilience required to maintain a self-sufficient lifestyle. Through keen observations and lyrical prose, the author invites readers to share in the quiet joys and profound observations gleaned from a life closely attuned to nature.
