Howard Mansfield so beautifully and eloquently describes our lust to once again revisit that small town feeling, when we could leave our doors open and perhaps just the screen doors latched while only the night airs entered everyone?s home. Where every town had their native sons. The prejudices that encompass the small towns and the newcomers who gently steered those wrongs into glorious rights?Mitzvahs indeed! This is truly a poetic work of the utmost proportion. Mansfield is a master craftsman whose words force us to relive those wonderful memories of a proud community and togetherness that have long since disappeared from our country?s landscape. Mansfield is Hancock, New Hampshire's Myer Goldman. There is no doubt this work is beyond brilliant, there is no doubt Mansfield is a genius and there is no doubt this book is his Mitzvah! Definitely a book to read, to have, and hold on to!
