Reviews
"You can tell that Charles Goodrich is both a gifted writer and an attentive gardener, giving us a heartening story that is grounded in the way that land and people can heal each other. He has cultivated characters so memorable that I missed them as soon as I read the last page." -- Robin Wall Kimmerer , author of the New York Times bestseller Braiding Sweet Grass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants "Goodrich masterfully weaves an intricate and deeply satisfying story. It's a beautiful book in its rich language and profoundly honest voice--funny and smart in its observations. Weave Me a Crooked Basket is a thrilling read and a much-needed antidote to our time, reminding us we can fully embrace the power of the human spirit." -- Keith Scribner , author of Old Newgate Road , winner of the 2020 Connecticut Book Award "I haven't read a novel in a long time that felt this hopeful, this authentic in feeling, in landscape, in the complexities of the lives of its people--ordinary people who are not only farmers and gardeners but artists and biologists and immigrants, wives and husbands, sisters and brothers. It's a marvelous book, written with immense compassion and honesty, insight and detail. I loved it." -- Molly Gloss , author of The Jump-Off Creek and The Hearts of Horses " Weave Me a Crooked Basket testifies to a potent vision--small farmers, artists, tattooed hair-stylists, footballers, yoga teachers, schoolkids, and cranky octogenarians rising in community when the engines of Corporate Greed come rumbling their way." -- John Daniel , author of Gifted and Lighted Distances "Charles Goodrich's writing shines with a deep knowledge of the land and climate of Western Oregon. His story demonstrates an overall ethic of care for this land. Read Weave Me a Crooked Basket --for the characters you will know and love, and for the way Goodrich brings the place alive." -- Lawrence Coates , professor of English and creative writing, Bowling Green State University, author of The Goodbye House: A Novel "Weave Me a Crooked Basket is the good news we've been waiting for: community matters, love heals, care and attention are the greatest of gifts, art is wonderfully re-arranging, the rich soil, well-tended, holds us all, and the work, despite our griefs, goes on. Charles Goodrich has written an exceptionally beautiful, life-giving novel." -- Joe Wilkins , author of Fall Back Down When I Die and The Mountain and the Fathers

Synopsis
A beautifully unconventional love story. It's the summer of 2008, and thirty-five-year-old Ursula Tunder, reeling from the breakup of a bad marriage, has abandoned her career as a botanist and moved home to the family farm to start a wholesale garden-plant greenhouse, and, perhaps more importantly, to care for her ailing father, Joe. Her younger brother, Bodie, now that a shoulder injury has ended his NFL career, comes home as well, to try his hand at organic farming. Their land at the edge of a prosperous college town is coveted by developers. Ursula wants to sell the farm to Camas Valley State University, which has promised to create a research facility on the land, but Bodie and his idealistic wife, Fleece, are committed to farming. Enter Nu, Ursula and Bodie's Vietnamese-American cousin by adoption, and an up-and-coming visual artist. When Nu gets arrested after a fight with a pair of dirt bikers, Joe persuades him to take refuge at the Tunder farm. Nu gets pressed into service helping Bodie with farm chores and taking care of Joe, so Ursula seizes the opportunity to get away from the farm, accepting a temporary job surveying native plants in the Cascades. But when Joe's health plummets and Bodie's finances crash, Ursula abandons her summer job to return home once again. Facing bankruptcy, Ursula, Bodie, and Nu enlist a ragtag troupe of land-defenders in a festival of resistance in a last-ditch effort to save a way of life that may disappear forever., Weave Me a Crooked Basket is an unconventional love story featuring a makeshift coalition of farmers, artists, scientists and community members who turn a small organic farm into a work of art to save it from unscrupulous developers. Facing bankruptcy, Ursula Tunder and her polar-opposite-brother, Bodie, along with their eco-artist adopted-cousin, Nu, enlist a ragtag troupe of land-defenders in a festival of resistance.

- r***r (2961)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (13)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
