A moving piece that captures the initmacy of rural living. Here in this rural hinterland there are no strangers - it is a social nexus interlaceed with acceptance. Well, this is how read the place of Blind Nora. What I recall too is how the countryside is personalised.Here it's 'Henry's far back hill'. And in the last line an indication of time passed. The doubt that there might be nothing there at all; 'the building still stands - I think' . All memories are silent.
I want to read more and that has to be good. Empathy established.
Thank you.
