I know I say I don’t really do book reviews, but here I am, finding myself reporting on another one only a week or so after reviewing The Beauty of Ordinary Things. But I can’t help myself. If there’s a book I like—especially if it shines a light on the mountains of New Hampshire like…

and their life is a wreck.
