FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF DEMON COPPERHEAD FROM THE WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FROM THE TWICE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE '[Kingsolver] means to save us by telling us stories . . . She comes closer than anyone else I know.' ANNE PATCHETT 'A mesmerising account of women finding their voices.' THE TIMES 'A jaw-dropping and warm-hearted read.' WOMAN & HOME A true story of female-led resilience during the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 - now available for the first time in the UK. In the summer of 1983, Barbara Kingsolver was assigned to cover the Phelps Dodge mine strike as a freelance journalist. Over the year that followed, she recorded stories of striking miners and their stunningly courageous wives, sisters and daughters. She saw rights she'd taken for granted denied to people she had learned to care about, and she was determined to share their voices. This is the true story of the courageous women and girls who held the line, who discovered themselves in their fight for rights, and of Kingsolver's commitment to showing the sparks that fly when the flint of force strikes against human mettle. 'Readers will discover what made Kingsolver the novelist she is now.' NEW STATESMAN
