Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver
From the acclaimed Barbara Kingsolver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and twice winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction 'Animals dream about the things they do in the daytime just like people do. If you want sweet dreams, you've got to live a sweet life.' So says Loyd Peregrina, a handsome Apache trainman and latter-day philosopher. But when Codi Noline returns to her hometown, Loyd's advice is painfully out of her reach. Dreamless and at the end of her rope, Codi comes back to Grace, Arizona, to confront her past and face her ailing, distant father. What she finds is a town threatened by a silent environmental catastrophe, some startling clues to her own identity, and a man whose view of the world could change the course of her life. 'A rich, compassionate book' Alice Hoffman 'Rich, complex, witty... This one will be with us for a long time' Washington Post 'An emotional masterpiece' New York Daily News 'A novel that feels closer to the truth about modern lives than anything I've read in a long time' Cosmopolitan
