Leaving Gotham for a place she calls Gooseville, Kate Sanborn takes on a run-down New England farm. She survives country auctions, the purchase of a horse, pets, poultry schemes, ghost stories told by neighbours, the prose of farm chores and the sad passing of her peacocks, and reports it all with wry good humour.
