Obviously there are no ordinary events going on at Skylark right now, but we are thrilled to be able to present the very wonderful Mary Morris, who will be in conversation with Alex George about her breath-taking new memoir, All the Way to the Tigers, on June 24 at 7:00 p.m. This will be a Zoom webinar. It is absolutely free to register, which you can do by clicking here.
From the author of Nothing to Declare, a new travel narrative examining healing, redemption, and what it means to be a solo woman on the road. After a trip to Morocco is derailed by a serious injury and months of recuperation, the author travels to India, in search of the world’s most elusive apex predator. Her first lesson: don’t look for a tiger because you won’t find it–you look for signs of a tiger. And all unseen tigers, hiding in the bush, are referred to as “she.” Morris connects deeply with these magnificent and highly endangered animals, and her weeks on tiger safari also afford a new understanding of herself.
This beautiful book has received rave reviews including one from Alex, who wrote: “A travel memoir is only as good as its journey. In her exquisite new book, All the Way to the Tigers, Mary Morris takes us on not one, but two gripping adventures – a recovery from a horrendous accident, and her subsequent trip to India to look for tigers in the wild. These parallel quests, told in tandem, beautifully illuminate and inform each other. This is a gorgeously written, deeply touching book. It glitters with insight and wisdom. I absolutely loved it.”
Mary has kindly agreed to sign Skylark book plates, and these will be affixed to first editions of the book, which will be available for purchase as of June 9.
