On the Black Hill (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of On the Black Hill Saturday, August 1 2009.

• Bruce Chatwin's fascination with nomads and wanderlust represents itself in reverse in On the Black Hill, a tale of two brothers (identical twins) who never go anywhere. They stay in the farmhouse on the English-Welsh border where they were born, tilling the rough soil and sleeping in the same bed, touched only occasionally by the advance of the 20th century. Smacking of a Welsh Ethan Frome , Chatwin evokes the lonely tragedies of farm life, and above all the vibrant land of Wales.
