The Secret Knowledge of Water: Discovering the Essence of the American Desert by Craig Childs

5.0

A read so delicious and ecstatic, I had to take my time and savor every word. Definitely my favorite non-fiction read of 2020 (regardless of the fact that I didn't finish until 2021), this book carried me through some very tough times with the sheer force of its overwhelming beauty. My hat is off and my bow deep to Craig Childs with admiration for this incredible reflection of the desert and its water. I only wish I could write a more appropriate tribute, but I'm left feeling almost speechless. Perhaps the water is doing all the speaking for me.
