Still Life with Chickens: Starting Over in a House by the Sea Paperback - 2007
by Catherine Goldhammer
In this lovely, unconventional, often funny memoir, the newly separated and several tax brackets poorer author moves into a new, more rustic life by the sea with her daughter as their lives slowly shift from chaos to grace.
Summary
In this beautifully written and frequently funny memoir, Catherine Goldhammer, newly separated, along with her twelve-year-old daughter, starts life anew in a cottage by the sea, in a rustic town where live bait is sold from vending machines. Partly to please her daughter and partly for reasons not clear to her at the time, she begins this year of transition by purchasing six baby chickens?whose job, she comes to suspect, is to pull her and her daughter forward out of one life and into another. An unforgettable story filled with hope and grace, Still Life with Chickens shows how transcendent wisdom can be found in the most unlikely of places.
First line
I did not have a year in Provence or a villa under the Tuscan sun.
