Fiction. "A beautiful book, half novel, half meditation. A twenty-three-year-old farm wife watches over her small herd grazing along a roadside where few cars pass, and she thinks about years gone by and years to come, living the timeless days of the shepherd's and the herder's life, a slow and certain rhythm that frees the mind to consider the changes of the earth and the ways of beasts and men.

"NOVEMBER GRASS is more than a regional novel of truth, body and observation; it is the record of a universe as mirrored in a personality of unusual insight, awareness and poetic power" - New York Times.
