I kind of stand in awe of Lewis-Stempel's tenacity in sticking to a wild food-from-my-land-only diet. I waffled between giving 3 or 4 stars in my review, because there were so many plants and animals involved with which I am unfamiliar, and as such did not resonate with me. But I realized that was a shortcoming on my part, not on L-S's as an author. He did his job by entertaining me and keeping me reading all the way through. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The Wild Life is John Lewis-Stempel's account of twelve months eating only food shot, caught or foraged from the fields, hedges, and brooks of his forty-acre farm. Nothing from a shop and nothing raised from agriculture. Could it even be done? We witness the season-by-season drama as the author survives on Nature's larder, trains Edith, a reluctant gundog, and conjures new recipes. And, above all, we see him get closer to Nature. Because, after all, you're never closer to Nature than when you're trying to kill it or pick it. Lyrical, observant and mordantly funny, The Wild Life is an extraordinary celebration of our natural heritage, and a testament to the importance of getting back to one's roots - spiritually and practically.
