The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood by Sy Montgomery

There are readers, and then there are bookhounds: the folks who will pick up any title that looks interesting from the most jumbled of rummage-sale boxes and the most tucked-away library shelves. I have a cousin like that, and it was her recommendation that put me on to the memoir The Good Good Pig nearly two decades after it was published in 2006. “You have to, have to read this,” she told me—not because the author lived in rural New Hampshire (like me) or because it came stamped as an international bestseller (which it was), but because it was as soulful a portrait of an animal as you will ever find. Taken in as a piglet by the naturalist Sy Montgomery, Christopher Hogwood repays the care of the humans around him with the gift of seeing the world in new and deeper ways. It’s a gift that readers receive, too, and will want to share, saying, “You have to, have to read this.”  —Jenn Johnson, Yankee senior managing editor
