I thought that structure of the book was really nice. Very enjoyable story about homesteading, and the passages on nature and the seasons were great. There was quite a bit of tension as well, a gentle sort of danger around. Very good.
Set in the Dakota territory in the 1880's with prose from that time. An excellent period piece where you feel the sparseness of the prairie and all of it's misgivings based on a saga between one family and it's ornery neighbor.
Just okay, not as good as I expected it to be. I stuck with it about halfway through the book, then found myself skimming. One of those books where you find yourself thinking "what's the point?"
I just couldn't get into it. Maybe because I just read some "beach books" and couldn't concentrate on the writing style.
Great story about life in the Dakotas in the homesteading days. Written with a lot of wit and dry humor.
Hard times growing up in the old days. I really enjoyed the cranky neighbor character.
