What to expect

Our complex relationship to the natural world is revealed through the unusual lives and deaths of a trapper and a beekeeper.

Susan Brind Morrow brings her singular sensibility as a classicist and linguist to this strikingly original reflection on the fine but resilient threads that bind humans to the natural world.

Prompted by the emotional loss of two friends, one a trapper and one a beekeeper, Susan Brind Morrow explores the implications of their very different relationships to the natural world. Ultimately, these two men are a touchstone for a memoir of the land itself, the rich soil of the Finger Lakes region in upstate New York.

Morrow’s richly evocative writing traces the connections among various realms of culture and nature, time and language and jolts us into thinking anew about our profound relationship to the natural world.

Critics Review

“This wonderful glimpse into the natural world of the Finger Lakesregion of upstate New Yorkblends nature, society, horticulture, agriculture, and history…Morrow brings to life the uniqueness of this region as well as the meaning of remembrance and responsibility toward family and friends.”

Library Journal

“Beautiful prose, with a deep understanding of the unbreakable connection between human beings and the land that nourishes them…Dunne’s outstanding reading is perfectly suited to the elegant story.”
