I read this collection of stories last semester and came away wanting more. It follows a boy named Jess as he listens to his mother and grandmother tell stories of the important and mysterious women who shaped their lives. Deep landscapes full of the seemingly ordinary lives of strong and powerful mountain women. If your interested in reading about the lives of women in Appalachia after WW2, this book is wonderfully written, or just looking for another book which will stand up to as much or little interpretation as you want, this one is my recommendation. I could read the chapter entitled 'The Wind Woman' over and over. Fred Chappell really is a master. First edition, first printing, signed and dated. Like New. . . . . #kentucky #westvirginia #virginia #tennessee #fredchappell #farewellimboundtoleaveyou #rarebook #appalachianlit #appalachianstudies #ashevillenc #bookporn #bookcollector #bookcollection #bookcollecting #finebooks #signed #appalachia #bookstagram #shelfie
