A candid look at a young couple's adventure in self-sufficiency inside a community of people living without power. It was a very enjoyable read. My only criticism is that the author, being male, represented only the man's experience of this community where men and women move in separate spheres of existence. If his wife were to write about her experiences, that would give the full story much more meaning (especially to female readers, like myself). Still, a fascinating look at how much time time-saving devices take away from our lives.
