The Land Remembers Reviews

Ben Logan is strikingly successful in recalling his own boyhood world, a lonely ridge farm in southwestern Wisconsin. . . . He reviews his growing-up years in the 1920s and <'>30s less with nostalgia than with a naturalist's eye for detail, wary of the distortions of memory and sentiment.-Christian Science Monitor

What drew me so irresistibly through The Land Remembers? . . . It's not nostalgia for my own past that [Logan] made me feel; it's nostalgia for a world he makes me wish I'd known.-New York Times Book Review

A book that encourages the reader to listen to his own thoughts. . . . Some collective memory that says that this is all familiar, that we ourselves have experienced it.-Time

A book to be cherished and remembered.-Publishers Weekly
