Annie Proulx - Bird Cloud

Released: 04/01/2011 Fourth Estate
In her first non-fiction book in over 20 years, Anne Proulx writes about her purchase of 640 acres of Wyoming Wetlands to build a house on, and the historical and geographical topography of the land revealed by the process. A compelling excavation of a rural idyll.
