"Throughout the summer of 2013, I harbored a secret hankering for a country house. This was a very private manifestation of a very public theory I'd articulated over almost the entire four decades (give or take) I'd lived in Manhattan. That is, if you don't feel the urge to leave town at least three times every two weeks, you're not really living in the City."
Thus begins The Bucknoll Cottage Chronicles, the story of one intrepid woman's journey from real estate ad to purchase of a little more house (aka cottage) than she really needed. In for the penny, in for the pound, she tells the tales of fixing it up and entertaining house guests, battling bugs, supporting the local economy (rodeo, anyone?) and dealing with the vicissitudes of weather, storage, gardening, yoga and installing an illegal clothesline. And more. Overall, the book is a delightful read that will leave readers with a greater appreciation for the joys and challenges of country living. The Bucknoll Cottage Chronicles is a fun read for anyone who loves a book featuring a good story and a good laugh.
