• Beautiful memoir for midlifers
  It's rare to find such a sweet, satisfying read on the topic of midlife changes and detours. While there's nothing terribly new in this memoir -- we've all read about painful divorces and renovating ramshackle houses in far-flung locations -- Catherine Goldhammer's voice and the clarity of her writing make this book highly relatable to women in the throes of change. As an empty nester facing transitions of another kind, I melted into the pages of this book and found comfort. Wish I could find more like it.

• Delightful
  This is a charming little book,with a happy ending..Perfect reading for a long trip on a plane, train, automobile..or a waiting room.

Nothing attacks life changes better, though, than the wit and mirth of Caterine Goldhammer's "Still Life With Chickens". Her conversational style is hilarious and reads as if she is sitting across the table from you over coffee and talking about her move to a fixer-upper house by the sea. My favorite... more info

• Still Live with Chickens
  I enjoyed the book. It combined my love for chickens, divorce plans from my husband, and my teenage daughter as personal links to the author's story. Well written overall, and it is always comforting to read a book that has such strong connections to your life.
