Again Calls the Owl --by Margaret Craven


Nonfiction / autobiographical
120 pages
5 Stars

I read I Heard the Owl Call My Name when it came out and loved it. I read it in one sitting. Then I read her second novel, Walk Gently This Good Earth. I loved them both, and have read them more than once. With great delight, I recently discovered Again Calls the Owl, and read it shortly after it arrived.

This is a collection of autobiographical vignettes about Ms. Craven's life, from childhood to student at Stanford to how she became a writer, and then the writer of I Heard the Owl Call My Name. I enjoy reading about the authors whose books I like, and there were many places in this book where I laughed out loud. And a couple where the tears fell.  

If you are looking for a sequel to I Heard the Owl Call My Name, do not get this book. If you are looking for some insight into the life of the author, you're in for a treat when you read this book.
