The Aquarian conspiracy : personal and social… by Marilyn Ferguson
A contemporary look at the changes of the 1980s.
Nicholas takes us on a 3 week trip around the world with his brother Micah. the story is told in the present as he is on the trip as well as in flashbacks of his childhood.
Excuse me while I sound like the English nerd that I am, but there is great voice in this memoir. I read most of it while my students were engaged in their own SSR, and oftne times I would disturb them with bursts of laughter or long-drawn out sighs.
