Download High Tide in Tucson: Essays from Now or Never AudioBook Free
"There is no-one that can compare with Barbara Kingsolver in modern day literature," raves the Washington Post Book World, which is right. She's been nominated three times for the ABBY award, and her critically acclaimed writings consistently enjoy spectacular commercial success as they entertain and touch her legions of loyal fans. In High Tide in Tucson, she returnsto her familiar themes of family, community, the common good and the natural world. The title essay considers Buster, a hermit crab that accidentally stows away on Kingsolver's return trip from the Bahamas to her desert home, and turns out to obtain manic-depressive tendencies. Buster is running around for all those he's worth -- one can only presume it's high tide in Tucson. Kingsolver brings a moral vision and refreshing love of life to subjects ranging from modern motherhood to the history of private property to the suspended citizenship of human beings in the pet Kingdom. Beautifully packaged, with unique illustrations by well-known illustrator Paul Mirocha, these wise lessons on the urgent business of being alive make it a perfect gift for Kingsolver's many fans.
