Sometimes life takes people to places they never expected, showing them that things they thought were fantasy are real. That is what happens to Miles Krzelewski in Daniel Mason’s latest novel, Country People. Exploring marriage, parenthood, the power of stories and belief, and finding connection, Mason takes Miles on a thrilling and joyous adventure to the forests of Vermont. Before moving, Miles finds himself worried that he is a disappointment to his family due to his increasing feeling of being lost and his 12-year-late PhD on Russian folktales. Yet in Vermont, he meets a colorful cast of energetic characters and a legend that may not be just a legend.
