These and other characters are captured in the web of life with a startling sensitivity that will touch the reader at every turn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Strikingly pure and radiant.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harriet Doerr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 5.10w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140251487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/20\/1996 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/09\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarriet Doerr \u003c\/b\u003e(1910-2002) was the author of \u003ci\u003eTiger in the Grass\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eConsider This, Senora\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eStones for Ibarra\u003c\/i\u003e, which received the American Book Award for First Work of Fiction, and was translated into ten languages and published in twelve countries abroad.
