About this product
Product Information
For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of sheep on her small Ontario farm. With a lyrical eye for detail, she moves through the seasons, detailing the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life. Now in her 70s, she faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is a central source of meaning and satisfaction. Shepherd's Sight shares a year at her farm, Lambsquarters. Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. With its vivid description and absorbing storytelli

"In a tightly woven skein of past and present, Barbara McLean relives her half-century on an old Ontario farm: the restoration of the buildings, the gathering of her flock of sheep, the exhilarations, the losses, and finally, the grief of knowing she can't stay there forever. More than a memoir of farming or living on the land, McLean describes a life-arc we all travel in different ways, from the hope and energy of youth to the rock-hard decisions of advancing age." -- Merilyn Simonds, author of Woman, Watching "Barbara McLean's chronicle of a life spent as a shepherd in Ontario -- tied to the urgency of tasks and the seasons -- is a joy to read. Compelling, wise, and deeply human." -- Helen Humphreys, author of Followed by the Lark, "In a tightly woven skein of past and present, Barbara McLean relives her half-century on an old Ontario farm: the restoration of the buildings, the gathering of her flock of sheep, the exhilarations, the losses, and finally, the grief of knowing she can't stay there forever.

If the day that Barbara McLean fears comes sooner rather than later, let's hope she can nonetheless continue writing books such as this." -- Literary Review of Canada
