He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he’s become a disappointment to his family. So when his wife, Kate, accepts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the faraway forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forward with his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Miles is a man of many enthusiasms, one who possesses, in Kate’s words, a great capacity “to fall in with anyone, anywhere.” And no sooner does he arrive than he finds himself entangled with a cast of characters as colorful as those of any of his folktales, from a ghostly tree surgeon to a scythe-mad biochemist, from a Shakespearean temptress to a photographer of snowflakes obsessed with chronicling, on thousands of index cards, the world’s delusions in an Inventory of Wrong Ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new friends, the enchanted woods, the histories: sure, no PhD, but all good fun. Until Miles stumbles upon a bizarre—perhaps ridiculous—local legend, which, he soon suspects, might not be just a legend after all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reader Hub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49817515753714,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9496\/0370\/files\/Gemini_Generated_Image_s7imkfs7imkfs7im.png?v=1784265780","url":"https:\/\/e7d7a6-33.myshopify.com\/products\/country-people-a-novel","provider":"Reader Hub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
