Reviews"Feels Like Home invites us on an exquisite journey of beauty, adventure and history. It's a magical trip you don't want to miss. This book will fill your heart, your soul and your spirit. We need that now more than ever."-- DOLORES HUERTA , labor organizer and civil-rights activist " Feels Like Home is personal and revealing--with vivid portraits of her forebears who immigrated first to Northern Mexico and then Tucson, Arizona, with striking photographs, family letters, and an array of recipes and songs, she weaves together an unforgettable tale of her life and talented musical family. This is quintessentially an American story--touching, and well worth reading."-- JERRY BROWN , former governor of California, " Feels Like Home invites us on an exquisite journey of beauty, adventure and history. It's a magical trip you don't want to miss. This book will fill your heart, your soul and your spirit.

This is quintessentially an American story--touching, and well worth reading."-- Jerry Brown , former governor of California "[ Feels Like Home ] illuminates the culture, food and natural wonders of the Sonoran Desert, which stretches from [Ronstadt's] Arizona childhood home through a large swatch of northern Mexico."-- Parade, " [Feels Like Home] is most easily described as a memoir. [...] In reality the book is many things at once. It's a portrait of a place, the Sonoran Desert, and it's a genealogy of sorts, an archival romp through Ronstadt's family history. It's about music: 'How a singer is both born and made, learning by singing and being sung to,' in the words of her co-author, the journalist Lawrence Downes. But it's also about food."-- Vogue "[A] travelogue, a memoir, a family history, a photo study, and a cookbook that will transport you to the vast dessert that links Arizona and Mexico."-- Boston Globe "[A] celebration of culture, music, geography, food and family ties that know no borders. It is eloquently told by a singer who has devoted much of her career to transcending musical borders [...] [Ronstadt's] memoir is a valentine to her family and the Mexican heritage she has long celebrated in words and music."-- San Diego Union-Tribune "Illuminates the culture, food and natural wonders of the Sonoran Desert, which stretches from [Ronstadt's] Arizona childhood home through a large swatch of northern Mexico."-- Parade " Feels Like Home is a memoir with food and a travel book about a handful of families. Ronstadt is at the book's center, providing a deep understanding of what life was like for those hardy people who settled in the Sonoran desert many years ago, as well as the Indigenous people who lived there for centuries longer."-- Orange County Register "[A] very sweet-hearted book [...] it hits a lot of sweet spots for what is kind of the perfect coffee table book."-- Mark Athitakis, KJZZ Radio, Phoenix " Feels Like Home invites us on an exquisite journey of beauty, adventure and history.

SynopsisA San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller! 2023 Southwest Book of the Year Selection "The arid land that starts in Arizona and stretches into Mexico's west coast is Ronstadt's foothold in the world. It's a story she has told through music, and now wants to tell through food."-- The New York Times "The book is many things at once. It's a portrait of a place, the Sonoran Desert, and it's a genealogy of sorts, an archival romp through Ronstadt's family history."-- Vogue "An album of loves for the high desert of Sonora and Ronstadt's hometown of Tucson."-- NPR Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Linda Ronstadt takes readers on a journey to the place her soul calls home, the Sonoran Desert, in this candid new memoir. In Feels Like Home , Grammy award-winning singer Linda Ronstadt effortlessly evokes the magical panorama of the high desert, a landscape etched by sunlight and carved by wind, offering a personal tour built around meals and memories of the place where she came of age. Growing up the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants and a descendant of Spanish settlers near northern Sonora, Ronstadt's intimate new memoir celebrates the marvelous flavors and indomitable people on both sides of what was once a porous border whose denizens were happy to exchange recipes and gather around campfires to sing the ballads that shaped Ronstadt's musical heritage. Following her bestselling musical memoir, Simple Dreams , this book seamlessly braids together Ronstadt's recollections of people and their passions in a region little understood in the rest of the United States. This road trip through the desert, written in collaboration with former New York Times writer Lawrence Downes and illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs by Bill Steen, features recipes for traditional Sonoran dishes and a bevy of revelations for Ronstadt's admirers. If this book were a radio signal, you might first pick it up on an Arizona highway, well south of Phoenix, coming into the glow of Ronstadt's hometown of Tucson. It would be playing something old and Mexican, from a time when the border was a place not of peril but of possibility., A San Francisco Chronicle Bestseller 2023 Southwest Book of the Year Selection "The arid land that starts in Arizona and stretches into Mexico's west coast is Ronstadt's foothold in the world.

The soul of Linda Ronstadt, compressed between two book covers. Being the Avid Reader she is, she would be most comfortable there!
I can't think of a single thing that Linda Ronstadt has ever done that was subpar or disappointing and this book is no exception! Wonderfully written with beautiful pictures and recipes from her family. Even the quality of the paper that comprise the pages is of superior quality. It is a must for any Linda Ronstadt fan!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
