He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he's become a disappointment to his family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo when his wife Kate accepts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the far away forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forward with his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Miles is a man of many enthusiasms, who possesses, in Kate's, words, 'a great capacity to fall in with anyone, anywhere'. Soon he finds himself entangled with a cast of characters as colourful as those of any of his folktales - from a ghostly tree surgeon, to a scythe-mad biochemist, a Shakespearean temptress, and a photographer of snowflakes - until at last he stumbles upon a bizarre local legend, which, he begins to suspect, might not be a legend at all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA FAMILY'S NEW BEGINNING. THE LOCAL'S OLDEST LEGEND. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49592994726040,"sku":"9781399835022","price":38.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/5193\/1032\/files\/Daniel-Mason-Country-People-Mrs-Blackwell-s-Village-Bookshop-Greytown-NZ.jpg?v=1785375601","url":"https:\/\/villagebookshop.co.nz\/products\/country-people","provider":"Mrs Blackwell's Village Bookshop Greytown","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
