Barbara Kingsolver was born in 1955 and grew up in rural Kentucky. Her books, in order of publication, are: The Bean Trees, Homeland, Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike, Animal Dreams, Another America, Pigs in Heaven, High Tide in Tucson, The Poisonwood Bible, Prodigal Summer, Small Wonder, Last Stand: America's Virgin Lands, with photographer Annie Griffiths, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, The Lacuna, Flight Behavior, Unsheltered, How To Fly (In 10,000 Easy Lessons), Demon Copperhead, and coauthored with Lily Kingsolver, Coyote's Wild Home. Kingsolver was named one the most important writers of the 20th Century by Writers Digest, and in 2023 won a Pulitzer Prize for Demon Copperhead. She won the Women's Prize for Fiction for both Demon Copperhead and The Lacuna, the first author in the history of the prize to win it twice. She has two daughters, Camille and Lily. She and her husband, Steven Hopp, live on a farm in southern Appalachia where they raise an extensive vegetable garden and Icelandic sheep.
At the end of her rope, Codi Noline returns to her Arizona home to face her ailing father, with whom she has a difficult, distant relationship. There she meets handsome Apache trainman Loyd Peregrina, who tells her, 'If you want sweet dreams, you've got to live a sweet life'. Filled with lyrical writing, Native American legends, a tender love story, and Codi's quest for identity, Animal Dreams is literary fiction at its very best.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001241916
