Kim's Pick



This is a collection of short stories by Andrea Barrett, a National Book Award-winning writer who studied biology and zoology. I thought it looked intriguing. Wiki says this about her: Barrett is particularly well known as a writer of historical fiction and her work reflects her lifelong interest in science as many of her characters are scientists, often nineteenth-century biologists.

Also, I fell in love with the book's cover.

Sorry for the delay in making a selection! To make up for my tardiness, maybe we could start discussing on Sept. 24, assuming everyone gets their book in the next week or so?
