About this product
Product Information
Named a "Best Book of the Year" by New Statesman, New York Public Library, Chicago Public Library, and Washington Independent Review of Books Southern Book Prize Finalist From New York Times contributing 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 child's 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 harmonize 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 love's own twin." Gorgeously illustrated by the author's brother, Billy Renkl, Late Migrations is an assured and memorable debut.

Praise for Late Migrations "Beautifully written, masterfully structured, and brimming with insight into the natural world, Late Migrations can claim its place alongside A Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and A Death in the Family . It has the makings of an American classic." --Ann Patchett, Praise for Late Migrations "Beautifully written, masterfully structured, and brimming with insight into the natural world, Late Migrations can claim its place alongside Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and A Death in the Family . It has the makings of an American classic." --Ann Patchett "A close and vigilant witness to loss and gain, Margaret Renkl wrenches meaning from the intimate moments that define us. Her work is a chronicle of being. And a challenge to cynicism. Late Migrations is flat-out brilliant and it has arrived right on time." --John T. Edge, author of The Potlikker Papers, Praise for Late Migrations "Beautifully written, masterfully structured, and brimming with insight into the natural world, Late Migrations can claim its place alongside Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and A Death in the Family . It has the makings of an American classic." --Ann Patchett "A compact glory, crosscutting between consummate family memoir and keenly observed backyard natural history. Margaret Renkl's deft juxtapositions close up the gap between humans and nonhumans and revive our lost kinship with other living things." --Richard Powers, author of The Overstory "A close and vigilant witness to loss and gain, Margaret Renkl wrenches meaning from the intimate moments that define us. Her work is a chronicle of being. And a challenge to cynicism. Late Migrations is flat-out brilliant and it has arrived right on time." --John T. Edge, author of The Potlikker Papers "Gracefully written and closely observed, Margaret Renkl's lovely essays are tinged with the longing for family and places now gone while rejoicing in the flutter of birds and life still alive." --Alan Lightman, author of Einstein's Dreams "Here is an extraordinary mind combined with a poet's soul to register our own old world in a way we have not quite seen before. Late Migrations is the psychological and spiritual portrait of an entire family and place presented in quick takes--snapshots--a soul's true memoir. The dire dreams and fears of childhood, the mother's mysterious tears, the imperfect beloved family . . . all are part of a charged and vibrant natural world also filled with rivalry, conflict, the occasional resolution, loss, and delight. Late Migrations is a continual revelation." --Lee Smith, author of The Last Girls, Praise for Late Migrations "Beautifully written, masterfully structured, and brimming with insight into the natural world, Late Migrations can claim its place alongside Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and A Death in the Family . It has the makings of an American classic." --Ann Patchett "A close and vigilant witness to loss and gain, Margaret Renkl wrenches meaning from the intimate moments that define us.

This seller is super nice about making sure your package gets to you. They bundled up all the things I bought in separate orders into one large box with tissue paper so they didn't rub together and mailed it out quick. USPS did some funny business and the seller was really nice and helped communicate everything they were doing to make sure it made it to me! Awesome customer service there and I love the things kimonos once they arrived. Thank you!!! I'll be back for more someday! A++++!
