In his new book, Back to the Land: A New way of Life in the Country: Foraging, Cheesemaking, Beekeeping, Syrup Tapping, Beer Brewing, Orchard Tending, Vegetable Garening, and Ecological Farming in the Hudson River Valley, Pieter takes a look at farmstead living — the way the Mathers lived so long ago — which is coming back into fashion with many people who have recently made an exodus from the city to the country.

HAYVN July 2023 Book Group: My Last Innocent Year by Daisy Florin

Our book chat for this month will be rescheduled. We will discuss My Last Innocent Year by Daisy Florin. We will be joined for the conversation by Daisy Florin!

An incisive, deeply resonant debut novel about a nonconsensual sexual encounter that propels one woman’s final semester at an elite New England college into controversy and chaos―and into an ill-advised affair with a married professor.

A coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, Daisy Alpert Florin’s My Last Innocent Year is a timely and wise portrait of a young woman learning to trust her voice and move toward independence while recognizing the beauty and grit of where she came from.
