Loosely the story of how a divorced, middle-aged Jewish professor of
English moved from San Francisco to rural Sonoma County, California,
and found fulfillment in the ups and downs of garlic farming, this
intensely personal narrative describes the interplay of generations
and cultures in Northern California. It should have particular appeal
for garlic heads, would-be writers, middle-aged men in transition,
feisty septuagenarians, and touchy-feely types. Along with fiercely
prejudiced discourses on garlic, Chester Aaron presents his
sentimental story in crisp, no-nonsense prose loaded with Woody
Allen-esque asides and self-deprecating observations. The book ends
with 40 recipes.
