A Hard Place to Leave
Angebote / Angebote:
Starting in a dreary hotel room in Moscow in 1983, ending on a West Texas trail in 2021, and weaving back and forth to rural New England, the essays and recollections in this book span the whole globe and half a lifetime. With intimacy, depth, and intelligence, this memoir in essays poses a universal question: what do you do with the pull of restlessness? Marcia DeSanctis, New York Times bestselling travel author, award-winning essayist, journalist for Vogue and Travel + Leisure and former ABC News producer immerses us in places that are both waiting to be experienced and more than we're up for. Traveling over quicksand in Northern France, through a bout of insomnia in Cambodia, up a volcano in Rwanda, spinning through the eye of a snowstorm in Bismarck, and atop a dumpster in her own backyard, the author encounters spies, angels, leopards, shoes, the odd rattlesnake, a random head of state, and, many times over, the ghosts of her own past along the way. And each next voyage leads to powerful revelations about one woman's search for solitude, capacity for adventure, and longing for home.
