Autorenporträt
Born in Manhattan in New York city, Frances Chavarria lived in Costa Rica for 35 years, having moved there with her husband, a linguist, in 1962. During that time, she had the opportunity to experience the unique environment for which Costa Rica is famous. She saw first-hand the pride Costa Ricans felt for the natural beauty of their country and the efforts they made to protect their beaches, soaring mountains, and the many rivers that criss-cross the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. At 90 years young, Chavarria says she hopes her book will raise awareness and consciousness of the continued need to protect lush, tropical Costa Rica for generations to come.
