Description:
|
Merging past and present, nature and culture, the twelve essays contained in this collection share with the reader both a deep appreciation of the environment and a reminder of the transitory nature of humankind. Describing momentous happenings, whether it is the events of Tiananmen Square, her children leaving home, or the Yup'ik village of Quinhagk, the site of a 500-year-old massacre, poet Kathleen Jamie brings clarity, warmth and deep reflection to these initially disparate but ultimately connected vignettes.
Part memoir, part travelogue and part nature writing ... complete delight.

Apart from one member, we loved this book for both the fascinating information and beautiful writing. Quite a few said that it was not a book they would have chosen from a library so were surprised by how much they enjoyed it. |
