Barbara Kingsolvers book of essays, High Tide in Tucson, is an interesting and enjoyable read. Fans of Kingsolvers books will recognize many aspects of Kingsolvers life as described in the essays, from her novels. While her novels are not autobiographical, it is gratifying to know that some elements of her wonderful novels are derived from first-hand knowledge and experience. The title essay, about a hermit crab, is especially delightful and interesting. I recommend this book to fans of Kingsolvers novels as an excellent background read.
