Reader reviews for A Slender Thread

From the publisher

An astonishing book by the prize-winning, bestselling author of A Natural History of the Senses that reveals her parallel lives as an observer of the wildlife in her garden and as a telephone crisis counselor.

"(Ackerman) brings a luminous and illuminating combination of sensuality, science, and speculation to whatever she considers." --San Francisco Examiner
