Andrea Doughtie, Rural Painter

From time to time I’m going to post something besides paintings– a bit about living in Vermont.

A terrific writer, Catherine Tudish, lives in Strafford. Her new novel, “American Cream” has just been published by Scribner and I urge everyone to rush out and buy it. Ed and I had read an earlier version in manuscript but we were just as glued to the page the second time around. I don’t know when I’ve read a novel that made me care as much about the characters. The prose is beautiful and insightful, the story compelling. Trust me. Catherine’s collection of short stories, “Tenney’s Landing” is also a delight with some connections with characters and places between the two books.
