Abstract:
Elegantly written and meticulously researched On a Farther Shore reveals a shy yet passionate woman more at home in the natural world than in the literary one that embraced her. William Sounder writes sensitively of Carson's romantic friendship with Dorothy Freeman, and of Carson's death from cancer in 1964. This extraordinary new biography captures the essence of one of the great reformers of the twentieth century.--BOOK COVER.
