Wendell Berry’s seventh novel and the ninth book of the Port William Membership, Hannah Coulter is a fictional memoir of one woman's journey through life and a celebration of rural America

Hannah, the now–elderly narrator, recounts the love she has for the land and for her community. She remembers each of her two husbands, and all places and community connections threatened by twentieth–century technologies. At risk is the whole culture of family farming. But her hope is redeemed when her wayward and once lost grandson, Virgil, returns to his rural home place to work the farm.
