There’s no disputing the fact that Rita Mae Brown has lived a dynamic life full of incredible experiences – she’s been a literary icon, groundbreaking feminist, Hollywood darling, and now a working farmer tending thousands of acres in rural Virginia. But throughout it all, one thing she has always been is a passionate lover of animals - from the cat that purred her to sleep in her cradle to the foxhounds and horses that fill her barn, an animal companion has always been by her side. In her charming and heartfelt new memoir Animal Magnetism: My Life with Creatures Great and Small, she discusses for the first time the life-sustaining relationships with her furry and feathered friends, as well as the important lessons she’s learned from them throughout the years – even confessing that “much of what I am is a result of a life with and close to animals.” (jasbro)… (més)
