Book to be mailed to a fellow bookcrosser :)

Book description
Kino, a poor Mexican pearl fisher, finds a valuable pearl. Yet instead of bringing blessings, the pearl acts as a harbinger of misfortune to Kino and his wife, Juana. Ultimately, it is returned from whence it came. Steinbeck's parable, originally published in 1947, is a well-written retelling of an old Mexican folktale. Hector Elizondo, with his fine voice and great diction, reads with sincerity, keeping this simple, tragic tale moving toward its inevitable conclusion.

Mailed out to a fellow bookcrosser.

I read this book, as my appreciate for Steinbeck as been increasing in recent years. I was a bit worried, as any time I read a book by a favorite author you run the risk of possibly being less than pleased. This book was amazing.

The use of the idea of an underlying music being present was so touching and powerful...it was really quite moving. I would recommond this to anyone, and will gladly release this into the wild today...

Thanks!!!
