Change of lifestyle booksChange of lifestyle booksI am re-reading for the nth time Monica Edwards - The Unsought Farm. I bought this on either ebay or Amazon last year, and absolutely love it. It tells the tale of buying their farm, restoring the farmhouse, and gradually cultivating the land and stocking it.
What I would like to know is - do any Laners know of similar books? I know there is a book written by a downsizing guru several years ago, can't remember his name or anything about him, and I have never read the book.
Re: Change of lifestyle booksI can't help you out with other book ideas but love the sound of the one you keep re reading. Must seek it out.

June, not sure if you will be able to get The Unsought Farm. I paid over thirty pounds for it, that shows how much I wanted to read it! Re: Change of lifestyle booksJune - have you read Hovel in the Hills by Elizabeth West? I think it came out in the late seventies. It is a true story of a couple leaving their jobs behind and opting for a simple life. I have read and re-read it!
Re: Change of lifestyle books
I haven't read this and after looking on line see it is still readily available. She also has another book called Kitchen In The Hills. I think I will treat myself. I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Change of lifestyle booksHello June
Hovel in the Hills is definitely the best of Elizabeth West's books. I bought (second hand, of course), her later books, which are: A Patch in the Forest Suffer Little Children Kitrchen in the Hills Garden in the Hills Kitchen in the Hills is stuffed with recipes, and had I not got the other books already, I would not buy them. I think there is another one entitled Insufferable Little Children. |
