| 內容簡介： |
Much the way Donald Hall’s Seasons at Eagle Pond captured New
England, Sky Time in Gray’s River captures the essence of the rural
Northwest. Although Robert Michael Pyle is a lepidopterist, and
southwestern Washington is notable for its lack of butterflies,
something about the village of Gray’s River spoke to him on a visit
thirty years ago. Ever since then he has lived in the village, one
of the first to be established near the mouth of the Columbia
River, tenuously connected to the world of the twenty-first
century. Sky Time brings Gray’s River to life by compressing those
thirty years into twelve chapters, following the lives of the
people, plants, and animals month by month through the seasons.
Through his story of how the village has changed his life, Pyle
illustrates how a special place can change anyone lucky enough to
find it. Sky Time in Gray’s River shows that you don’t have to
travel far to see something new every day—if you know how to
look.
