Spinning to Mars - Pokrass, Meg

. .

Résumé :
Meg Pokrass has written an exquisite collection of linked stories. As I read Spinning to Mars I felt plunged, soaked, immersed-however you want to get down into a life both deep and wide. This book will spin you off to Mars with its exacting language and biting insight.
