After a happenstance occurrence brings Sonia Day to a charming old house in the country one humid July, she is bewitched — and ready to leave city life behind. She and her spouse sell their home, say goodbye to traffic, hustle and bustle, and smog, and embrace a radically different existence. Though their journey is not the simplified, rustic experience they anticipate — their adventures lead to encounters with marijuana grow-ops, firearms, scheming squirrels, and more — they find a kind of equilibrium in the country, with hilarious results along the way. A great find for anyone yearning to get “back to the land,” as well as for anyone wondering how they might spend the second half of their lives, Middle Aged Spread is a delightful look at the trials and treats of country life.
