Description: Late Migrations by Margaret Renkl Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "Beautifully written, masterfully structured, and brimming with insight into the natural world . . . It has the makings of an American classic." -ANN PATCHETT Publisher Description From New York Times opinion writer Margaret Renkl comes an unusual, captivating portrait of a family-and of the cycles of joy and grief that inscribe human lives within the natural world.Growing up in Alabama, Renkl was a devoted reader, an explorer of riverbeds and red-dirt roads, and a fiercely loved daughter. Here, in brief essays, she traces a tender and honest portrait of her complicated parents-her exuberant, creative mother; her steady, supportive father-and of the bittersweet moments that accompany a childs transition to caregiver. And here, braided into the overall narrative, Renkl offers observations on the world surrounding her suburban Nashville home. Ringing with rapture and heartache, these essays convey the dignity of bluebirds and rat snakes, monarch butterflies and native bees. As these two threads haunt and harmonise with each other, Renkl suggests that there is astonishment to be found in common things: in what seems ordinary, in what we all share.For in both worlds-the natural one and our own-"the shadow side of love is always loss, and grief is only loves own twin." Gorgeously illustrated by the authors brother, Billy Renkl, Late Migrations is an assured and memorable debut.
