Book description
With the eyes of a scientist and the vision of a poet, Barbara
Kingsolver explores her trademark themes of family, community and the
natural world. Defiant, funny and courageously honest, High Tide in
Tucson is an engaging and immensely readable collection from one of
the most original voices in contemporary literature. 'Possessed of an
extravagantly gifted narrative voice, Kingsolver blends a fierce and
abiding moral vision with benevolent and concise humour. Her medicine
is meant for the head, the heart, and the soul.' New York Times Book Review
