About this listen

 From the simple setting of his own barber shop, 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 20th 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.

Great story and well read. Only knock would be that potentially a little too slow but i listened at 1.1x or 1.2x and that was spot on.

Super charming.

This was my first Wendell Berry book and I will certainly be going back for more. The narrator was exceptionally well suited to the material and did a fantastic job. This book will enrich your life and give you a new perspective on love, community, faith, and our relationship with the natural world. In today's world especially, Berry's wisdom is tonic for the soil.

Beautiful story perfectly narrated
