well-written on-fiction account of the 33 miners buried for 33 days in Chile. I had no interest whatsoever in this incident but it was in my First Edition's Book Club and Ann Patchett said it was her favorite book of the year so I gave it a try. I loved the prose and thought it was as well done as anyone could have done this story. About survival, and relationships, and geology, teamwork and individualism.
