Four Seasons in Five Senses by David Mas Masumoto
The nation's favorite literary farmer pays homage to the life of the senses.
"Writing lovingly, lyrically..Masumoto passionately engages every fiber of his being [in] bringing the land to life for his readers....Through his eyes we see the translucence of peach blossoms about to burst. Through his ears, we hear a symphony as his shovel uproots encroaching weeds. His hands pluck a ripe peach and we brush away the dew, breathe in its musky aroma. He takes a bite and we drink in its nectar as we would fine wine." -- Booklist
