Environmental Book Group: the Salt Stones (ONLINE ONLY)
PLEASE NOTE FOR THIS MONTH OUR DISCUSSION WILL BE ONLINE ONLY
In The Salt Stones, Helen Whybrow offers an intimate and profoundly moving story of what it means to care for a flock and truly inhabit a piece of land.
In the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, Helen Whybrow and her partner set out to restore an old two-hundred-acre farm. Knowing that “belonging more than anything requires participation,” they begin to intertwine their lives with the land. But soon after releasing a flock of Icelandic sheep onto the worn-out fields, Whybrow realizes that the art of shepherding extends far beyond the flock and fences of Knoll Farm.
For our December book discussion, we will be meeting virtually only. Please register for the Zoom link.
