Summary: Tragic love affairs of place and people
Comment: Often writers of non-fiction who are particularly good at describing landscapes and worlds defined by geographic phenomena do not transfer to novel writing well. Gretel Ehrlich's moving descriptions of the American West are emotionally charged and lyric, but do not contain story in the same form as in novels. The depth of character development and tumultuous narrative in her novel surprised me. Ehrlich was able to convey the same sacred beauty of the western landscape she writes about in her non-fiction, and she complemented it with a love story equally depicted and equally harsh as the environment and times in which it was set.
Rating: 5
Summary: Poignant look at a tragic time in American History
Comment: Ms Erlich has written an excellent perspective of the tragic relocation of the Nisei Japanese during WWII. She carefully and artistically describes the impact on these loyal Americans and the their impact on the community in Wyoming of which they were forced to become a part. She describes the feelings of the Rocky Mountain West rural community forced to recieve these "foreigners" and how they accepted and/or rejected these people moved simply because of their ethnicity and how the relationship between a young rancher and a japanese-american women grows and changes both people. An excellent read
