A mapper of the highest mountain peaks realizes his true obsession. A young woman afire with scientific curiosity must come to terms with a romantic fantasy. Brothers and sisters, torn apart at an early age, are beset by dreams of reunion. Throughout, Barrett's most characteristic theme--the happenings in that borderland between science and desire--unfolds in the diverse lives of unforgettable human beings. Although each richly layered tale stands independently, readers of <em>Ship Fever</em> (National Book Award winner) and Barrett's extraordinary novel <em>The Voyage of the Narwhal</em>, will discover subtle links both among these new stories and to characters in the earlier works.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Gemlike stories that sparkle with intelligence and fire.-- "O, The Oprah Magazine"<br><br>These stories possess a wonderful clarity and ease, the serene authority of a writer working at the very height of her powers.-- "New York Times"<br>
