Book Overview

by Wendell Berry (Author)

In the third novel in the beloved Port William series, Old Jack, born just after the American Civil War and dying in contemporary times, spends one beautiful September day in his home since birth, remembering

Sharing with readers the most searing moments of Old Jack's life, particularly his debt to his sister Nancy and her husband Ben Feltner, we learn together what Old Jack's model of what honorable manhood and strength might be.

"Few novelists treat both their characters and their readers with the kind of respect that Wendell Berry displays in this deeply moving account . . . The Memory of Old Jack is a slab of rich Americana."--The New York Times Book Review
