Descriere & specificații

In 54 chapters that unfold like a series of yoga poses, each with its own logic and beauty, Williams creates a lyrical and caring meditation of the mystery of her mother's journals in a book that keeps turning around the question, What does it mean to have a voice? n nNATIONAL BESTSELLER nA Kansas City Star Best Book of the Year n nBrilliant, meditative, and full of surprises, wisdom, and wonder.--Ann Lamott, author of Imperfect Birds n nI am leaving you all my journals, but you must promise me you won't look at them until after I'm gone. This is what Terry Tempest Williams's mother, the matriarch of a large Mormon clan in northern Utah, told her a week before she died. It was a shock to Williams to discover that her mother had kept journals. But not as much of a shock as it was to discover that the three shelves of journals were all blank. In fifty-four short chapters, Williams recounts memories of her mother, ponders her own faith, and contemplates the notion of absence and presence art and in our world. n nWhen Women Were Birds is a carefully crafted kaleidoscope that keeps turning around the question: What does it mean to have a voice?n
