After losing her son and husband, and moving off the family farm into the city, Sylvia fi lls her days with visits to the local library, computer classes, her granddaughter, and retribution. Sylvia watched her own family fall apart, and those of her friends, not to mention the slow disintegration of her beloved hometown, Boganindra, in country New South Wales. Sylvia begins to feel helpless, and hopeless. Until she has a chance meeting with a man in her computer class at the local library. She learns that something can be done. There are ways to stop someone from ruining peoples’ lives. From taking over the “failing” mum-and-dad businesses in small towns and incorporating them into much bigger, modern, mechanised businesses and then making their long serving staff “redundant”. With an uncanny knack of fading into the shadows, and being very “unmemorable”, Sylvia not only fi nds it almost impossible to get any kind of service in a coffee shop, but she fi nds that when she really needs to “disappear in a crowd” she has no trouble.

“For those unfamiliar with Sylvia, discovering her stories is like stumbling into a fully loaded wild blackberry patch—impossible to rush through, sweetly fulfilling, with an immediate longing to return to them again and again.” —Joshua Kilmer-Purcell, The Fabulous Beekman Boys This collection of stories chronicling Sylvia Jorrín's life on the farm provides comfort and inspiration to all those searching for meaning in life's many blessings. The world of Sylvia's Farm is a rich landscape of natural beauty and simple pleasures. Sylvia Jorrín never expected to become the first woman in the New York City Watershed to solely own and operate a large livestock farm. But first the farm, and then farm life, captured her heart as it has captured the hearts of all those who have read her book. Through unexpected surprises and unanticipated hardships, Sylvia Jorrín has grown into the epitome of the one thing she never expected to be: a farmer. With a devoted following of readers inspired by her underlying appreciation of the world around her, Sylvia's Farm is the sort of ageless story that any reader can pick up and enjoy. Sylvia's Farm is, to quote Kirkus Reviews, "The delight-filled education of an out-of-the-clue shepherdess...." consisting of "....fine-grained, honest rural sketches, on a par with Noel Perrin and Don Mitchell." Sylvia's Farm is a contemporary account of rural farm life and all of the sometimes beautiful, always meaningful lessons that it continues to teach. Told in short vignettes that span over more than a decade, it is a journal of growth, persistence, and the unexpected joys that a new day can bring.

"The editing of music in Fellini's first films represents an entirely new approach to cinematic sound. The sophistication and complexity of Fellini's soundtracks far surpasses the neorealist models that are often assumed to form the practical foundation of Fellini's earliest works, and an analysis of the editing of music in these films reveals extraordinary innovation in the pairing of music and visual image."--BOOK JACKET.

The story is spread over a generational time frame. It’s a fast-moving cowboy action and romance with informative interludes—to explain the growing and marketing of vegetables into the nineteenth century.
