These precious days [sound recording] : essays / Ann Patchett.

Patchett, Ann, (author,, narrator.). Harper Audio (Firm). (Added Author). Read by Ann Patchett. (Cast).

Summary:

A literary alchemist, Patchett plumbs the depths of her experiences to create gold: engaging and moving pieces that are both self-portrait and landscape, each vibrant with emotion and rich in insight. Turning her writer's eye on her own experiences, she transforms the private into the universal, providing listeners a way to look at their own worlds anew, and reminds how fleeting and enigmatic life can be.

" ... seductive and inviting."--Publishers Weekly
