Louis Bromfield, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, established one of the most significant homesteads in Ohio on his Malabar Farm. Today it receives thousands of visitors a year from all over the world; once the site of the wedding of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, it was a successful prototype of experimental and conservation farming.This
Writer, farmer, and conservationist Ellen Bromfield Geld lives in Brazil. She has long written for Brazil's leading newspaper, O Estado de São Paulo, and is the author of nine books, including The Heritage, The Garlic Tree, and A Timeless Place for which she won an Ohioana Book Award.
“For these things he will be remembered: the beginning novels,
candid, sure, probing; the open-air, uninhibited rich life he led
and taught others to lead; the man himself, shy, natural, generous,
exuberant, contrary, as eager for a romp with his dogs as for an
evening at the opera. They constitute the 'heritage' revealed by
Mrs. Geld with warm affection.”
*Saturday Review*
“In New York, in France, in Ohio, Bromfield is pictured as a man in
the midst of a restless and occasionally brooding life. The same
objectivity and a similar understanding informs Mrs. Geld's
touching portrait of her mother, into whose sheltered New England
life Bromfield came like a west wind which she could neither resist
nor wholly respond to. With its ardor and understanding, and its
responsiveness to all kinds of experience, The Heritage fits
naturally alongside the best books of Louis Bromfield.”
