The Farm

<p>Review\nIn daylight, Bromfield wrote and worked in his garden [in Senlis, France where The Farm war written]. At night, he dreamed of buying a farm. He dreamed of his boyhood Pleasant Valley. "I would find myself returning to the county going back again to the mint-scented pastures of Pleasant Valley, or to the orchards of my grandfather's farm. It was as if all the while my spirit were tugging to return there as if I were under a compulsion. And those dreams were associated with the sensation of warmth and security and satisfaction that was almost physical. I found myself spending more and more of my sleeping hours in the country where I was born. And always what I dreamed of was Ohio and my own country." --WOSU-TV "The Man Who Had Everything"</p>
