Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. actually kind of a boring trip but mm's reminiscences and writing style move everything along. ( ) I really enjoyed this. I loved her combining memories of her father with the journey down the Mississippi. What a bunch of characters. Makes you empathize with her when showers are few and far between. I cringed at the treatment she received at the public library. Loved the endless cans of Mountain Dew and the big tough guy's love for the little, opinionated dog. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In fall 2005 travel writer Mary Morris set off down the Mississippi in a battered old houseboat called the River Queen, with two river rats named Tom and Jerry--and a dog who hated her. It was a time of emotional turmoil for Morris: her father had just died; her daughter was leaving home; life was changing all around her. So she decided to return to the Midwest where she was from, to the river she remembered. Morris describes living like a pirate and surviving a tornado. Because of Katrina, oil prices, and drought, the river was often empty--a ghost river. As she learned to pilot her boat and made peace with her dog, Morris got her groove back, reconnecting to her past. More important, she came away with her best book.--From publisher description.
