Description

About the Book

A magical book that turns one modest square mile of exurban land into the most remarkably fascinating place

Book Synopsis

"Ceremonial time" occurs when past, present, and future can be perceived simultaneously. Experienced only rarely, usually during ritual dance, this escape from linear time is the vehicle for John Mitchell's extraordinary writing. In this, his most magical book, he traces the life of a single square mile in New England, from the last ice age through years of human history, including bear shamans, colonists, witches, local farmers, and encroaching industrial "parks."

Review Quotes

"Astonishing immediacy . . . as though Sherlock Holmes had set out to verify Grey's musings in his country churchyard. . . . An unqualified success . . . I can think of no book that provides so personal and yet so comprehensive a view of America, past, present, and potentially, future."-- "New York Times Book Review"
