New York Times Enter 60 goats and homemade soap, apple-picking and an heirloom vegetable garden. Review Quotes Kilmer-Purcell fertilizes this narrative until it reeks of charm. The Bucolic Plague is a tart and sweet, touching and laugh-out-loud funny story about goats, mud, homemade soap, approaching middle age, and finding new depths of love and commitment wherever you live. Suddenly Josh-a full-time New Yorker with a successful advertising career-and Brent find themselves weekend farmers, surrounded by natures bounty and an eclectic cast: roosters who double as a wedding cover band Bubby, the bionic cat and a herd of goats, courtesy of their new caretaker, Farmer John.
And so begins their transformation from uptight urbanites into the two-hundred-year-old-mansion-owning Beekman Boys. From the Back Cover National Bestseller What happens when two New Yorkers (one an ex-drag queen) do the unthinkable: start over, raise a herd of kids, and get a little dirty? A happy series of accidents and a doughnut-laden escape upstate take Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner, Brent Ridge, to the doorstep of the magnificent (and fabulously for sale) Beekman Mansion. Armistead Maupin Michael Perry ( Coop, Truck: A Love Story ) meets David Sedaris ( Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim ) in this follow-up to Josh Kilmer-Purcells beloved New York Times bestselling debut memoir, I Am Not Myself These Days -another riotous, moving, and entirely unique story of his attempt to tackle the next phase of life with his partner. Alice Waters Kilmer-Purcells genius lies in his ability to blindside the reader with heart-wrenching truths in the midst of the most outlandish scenarios.
If these two can go from Manhattan to a goat farm in upstate New York, then I cant help feeling there is hope for us all. Their unlikely story of love, the land, and a herd of goats is hilariously honest. Book Synopsis I adore the Beekman boys story.
