Deceptively fresh and innocent, this book is really a hair-raising and rowdy venture from start to finish, by a woman who turns the commonplace into pure magic. And the not so commonplace: a drug bust, the Kennedy assassination, a climb to the crater of Paricutin volcano, Acapulco in the 50s. This is a younger Mexico, trying to find its way. It is also an indictment of cruelty and indifference, a book about dogs, children, love of nature. A sense of wonder and a surprise on every page.
Over de auteur
Carol Miller’s lively and evocative prose describes rich and rewarding travel, to places few people go. The restless and inquisitive Miller is a native Californian, long-time resident of Mexico, an experienced journalist and a dedicated photographer. She was a correspondent for Life Magazine. She was a syndicated travel writer. And she is also a celebrated artist, reknowned for her bronze sculpture. To read her books is to share her adventures, observations and multiple interests, in art, architecture, history and archaeology, along with her love of nature and animals, her keen observations and her undaunted joy in living.
