One American Town

Connery writes of his adopted town, Kent, Connecticut. It is the sort of place where a newcomer remains so for some time. The book is broken down by seasons, each season full of colorful snippets of life in this town. Some of the tidbits are from long ago, and others from happenings the day that they were penned. Connery's style is such that each paragraph gives a feeling, a picture of the way things are and have been. The collection of these short observations gives one a very good feel for this place Connery calls home. It becomes an almost poetic look at a small town, and in a sense, at all small towns in America. This book can make one want to move to Kent, which would spoil the place for those who enjoy their solitude!
