Why read it?
1 author picked High Tide in Tucson as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I picked up this book randomly at a bookstore and fell in love with the intriguing cover (a hermit crab emerging from some nopales cactus in a wide open desert setting).
The book is as unexpected as this cover with the author touching on many subjects and making keen observations – her life in Tucson, Kentucky, and even Thoreau. Her writing is thoughtful and intelligent and this book still sits prominently on my bookshelf.
