Jayber Crow: The Life Story of Jayber Crow, Barber, of the Port William Membership (Thorndike Press Large Print Americana Series) - Hardcover
"From the simple setting of his own barbershop, Jayber Crow -- orphan, seminarian, and native of Port William -- recalls his life and the life of his community as it spends itself in the middle of the twentieth century. Surrounded by his friends and neighbors, he is both participant and witness as the community attempts to transcend its own decline. And meanwhile, Jayber learns the art of devotion and that a faithful love is its own reward."--Container.

Review:
"The family are caught on the wheel of nature, which is at once blindingly beautiful and unwitingly cruel...The narrative is stunning, the natural scene beautifully evoked."
"An almost perfect fiction, a sublime meditation on how irrevocable loss is redeemed through a renewed sense of kinship with the land and the past...A beautiful and ennobling book."
"Mr. Berry writes elegantly, effortlessly balancing tragedy and a quiet, sly humor."
