Media reviews

"In this chronicle of her family's New England farm, Jane "Brox has created an erotics of place. Her keen and sensuous observations are rich in the fully rendered tastes and smells and sounds and textures of what nourishes us most: food and family and the dark earth from which both spring. This is an honest book true to both beauty and pain, written with a loving heart."
