At times hilarious, at other times thoughtful, this book is more than an account of a family which goes to live on a farm. The events described here took the Sherry's deep into a terra incognita of the spirit as well as the land. It is that quality: the sense of adventure and of patterns being broken which gives Maggie's Farm a flavor all its own.
