Lyrical in his descriptions of the Lake District, Rebanks writes of a culture that is quickly giving way to modern life. Throughout the book he questions if life is better with modernization, and keeps coming back to a complicated answer. Like Pastoral Song, the narration is engaging and draws the reader into a life that, for many, is foreign. A wonderfully deep dive into a way of life many dismiss and scoff at. There is much wisdom to learn between these pages. Excellent reading.
