Adelightful and surprising reflection on the complexities of the
human relationship with nature, Wolves and Honey is a wonderful
blend of nature writing and memoir grounded in the exploration of two
eccentric personalities--one a trapper, the other a beekeeper--and their
very different attitudes toward the world. While illuminating her own
poignant relationships with these men who deeply influenced her,
Susan Brind Morrow offers a meditation on the land itself--specifically,
the rich and storied Finger Lakes region of New York. From the history
of apple-growing in America to the myth of the Tree of Life, Morrow"s
writing makes sociological, linguistic, and metaphorical connections
that provide a strikingly original reflection on the fine but resilient
threads that bind humans to the natural world.
