Choosing Eden von Adrienne Langman
The real life story of a 50s+ couple who left their cushy Sydney lifestyle for a 12 acres block they called Eden in Nana Glen, Northern NSW to establish a fully self sustaining food farm. An inspiring first hand account of their efforts to learn how to get back to basics and live off the land. A good, easy paced read about lifestyle ans sustainability and living. Very suited to the Quaker Earthcare testimony.
Choosing Eden bills itself as a lifestyle change book cataloging a couples change from inner city suburbia to rural farm owners and the trials and tribulations they face along said journey.
What it really is, is a touch of that, with a liberal dosing of personal manifesto on preparing for doomsday when oil runs out/is unaffordable and society collapses.
I understand some people move to the country for this reason, no problem with that, however this book just piles on the we-are-right-everyone-else-is-ignorant diatribes making it hard to enjoy the other parts. You can get your point across without ramming your agenda down people's throats; chapter after chapter.
I also struggled to get through the selfish isolation in her suburban life before the move. It was genuinely baffling as to how someone could be so out of touch with the environment around them, and made the future potential value of the book seem resoundingly average. I wasn't wrong, it pretty much is - a few interesting tales, but overall nothing you won't find elsewhere.
Props to the ability to write well, but the content of the writing puts it at a solid resoundingly average 2.5… (mehr)
