Groundwork Erie Environmental Book Club
May meeting: Wednesday, May 15, 2024
May’s book: James Rebanks, The Shepherd's Life: Modern Dispatches from an Ancient Landscape (2016). This memoir takes readers through a single year in the life of James Rebanks, a shepherd in the Lake District of Northern England, “offering a unique account of rural life and a fundamental connection with the land that most of us have lost. It is a story of working lives, the people around him, his childhood, his parents and grandparents, a people who exist and endure even as the culture—of the Lake District, and of farming—changes around them.”
How to Join: We meet the 3rd Wednesday of the month at Werner Books at 6:00–7:00 p.m. Book Club members receive 20% off the club’s book of the month when buying the book at Werner.
