Krátky popis
AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOWFrom the multi-million copy bestselling
author Demon Copperhead: a true story of female-led resilience
during the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 - now available for
the first time in the UK. '[Kingsolver] means to save us by telling
us stories . .. She comes closer than anyone else I know.' ANNE
PATCHETT'Clear and emotional . .. This is a report from the
trenches of where the political meets the personal.' JOHN SAYLESIt
was the summer of 1983. Barbara Kingsolver had a day job as a
scientific writer spends her weekends cutting her teeth as a
freelance journalist when she landed an assignment.Her mission: was
to cover the Phelps Dodge mine strike. Over the year that followed
Kingsolver stood with those miners and their families, increasingly
engaged and heartbroken. She recorded stories of striking miners
and their stunningly courageous wives, sisters and daughters.She
saw rights she'd taken for granted denied to people she had learned
to care about, as they cried out to a wide world that either
refused to believe what was happening to them, or didn't care, or
simply could not know. This book is the true story of the families
who held the line, and of Kingsolver's commitment to tell the story
of the women and girls who discovered themselves in their fight to
keep their families from destitution. It is a story about the
sparks that fly when the flint of force strikes against human
mettle.FROM THE WINNER OF THE PULITZER AND WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR
FICTION 2023
