The Dirty Life: A Memoir of Farming, Food, and Love
By Kristin Kimball
This is a charming memoir about one city girl’s transition into a full-fledged farmer. I wasn’t sure
whether I would enjoy reading this when I started but I am definitely glad I
gave it a chance. At first I wondered if Kimball was going to be Carrie
Bradshaw-Skips-Through-The-Barn-in-Stilettos but instead what I got was the story of a
down-to-earth journalist who although hailed from NYC, found her true calling in
building a farm alongside her husband. She doesn’t hold back from the gory
details of the grueling and challenging work that comes with farm life and that’s
probably what I loved the most.
I think this is a good book
for anyone who is even remotely curious about what life on a farm is like. I
appreciated Kimball’s honesty and the way she captured both the beauty and the
struggles of such a lifestyle.
