Country People is by Daniel Mason. I found this realistic fiction novel hilarious. Who are these people? They are all bat-crap crazy. A California family move to rural Vermont when the wife accepts a teaching position at a prestigious college. The dad is working on his perpetual PhD, ostensibly on Russian folk-tales. The family, who are weird on their own, become involved with a host of incredibly eccentric "country people." I found this book much more entertaining than North Woods.
Ratings: 12th grade - 7 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
