Beskrivning

Here is a glorious, offbeat, compassionate, and “eccentrically inspirational” (Kirkus Reviews) memoir in which Alice Walker shares her experiences raising and caring for a flock of chickens. In pieces that are by turns moving, thoughtful, and utterly captivating, Walker addresses her “girls” directly, sometimes from the intimate proximity of her yard, other times at a great distance, during her travels to Bali and Dharamsala as an activist for peace and justice. On the way, she invites readers along on a surprising journey of inspiration, strength, and spiritual discovery.Uplifting, heartbreaking, and memorable, The Chicken Chronicles lets us see a new and deeply personal side of one of the most inspiring writers of our time. It is also a powerful touchstone for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural world.

Recensioner i media

“Rich, with offbeat, unexpected details… [an] ideal blend between earnestness and self-deprecation that makes this book so engaging.”—The Washington Post“With an eye for wonderment and plenty of surprising wry humor… The Chicken Chronicles is work bringing home to roost.”—The Philadelphia Tribune“[These] poignant and wonderfully eccentric short essays… illuminate some of life's weightiest lessons. Who knew all of this could be found in a backyard henhouse?”—Utne Reader
