Summary "When Axel Linden unexpectedly inherits a farm--along with the ever-escaping flock of sheep that comes with it--he has a fairly naive notion of what life outside the city will be: pure drudgery. But as Axel settles into the rhythms of the farm and shepherding, his naivete is tradually replaced with a new appreciation of the spiritual and emotional value of manual labor, caring for other living things, and staying connected to the earth." -- dust jacket.
