<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The perilously beautiful (<i>Boston Globe</i>) first story collection by the author of the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>All The Light We Cannot See </i>and<i> Cloud Cuckoo Land.</i></b> <p/>The exquisitely crafted stories in Anthony Doerr's debut collection take readers from the African Coast to the pine forests of Montana to the damp moors of Lapland, charting a vast physical and emotional landscape. Doerr explores the human condition in all its varieties--metamorphosis, grief, fractured relationships, and slowly mending hearts--conjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and crushing power. Some of the characters in these stories contend with hardships; some discover unique gifts; all are united by their ultimate deference to the ravishing universe outside themselves.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>The Shell Collector</i> is breathtaking....
