Ezra comments extensively on the weather, the changing seasons, his wife’s behavior, his family’s dynamic, hot-button issues particular to rural Vermont, and mortality.    He's a good story teller, but not the most reliable narrator.  He is opinionated, contankerous, and susceptible to conspiracy theories.  Some may find him charming.  Others may find him offensive.  Some may find him both.
