We thought it would be fun to choose a book we both had been wanting to read forever and have you read-along with us! Today we’ll be discussing Wendell Berry’s Hannah Coulter; a poignant telling of one woman’s life.
This is a book about love, not just that found in marriage, but the love of family, community, and the land. We found there was much to discuss from Berry’s work and we hope that you enjoy it whether you’ve read the book yet or not.
Don’t forget we’ll be in our Facebook group discussing this great story, come join us!

Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry

So, about the lack of conflict in Port William… I think the community is a metaphor for the Church. It’s supposed to be perfect, like we should be perfect. It is fantastical; Port William is a kind of Narnia. I think the characters are still working through their pain and sin and choices, but I think they always have the choice to come home to the perfect world God created, and the perfect unity of his people.
