There are undoubted merits to Mitchell's gruelling story of an exiled Ukrainian family, trying to eke out a living on the vast Canadian plains. It is 1938... Despite impressive control of the subject and a stunning depiction of the natural world, the book sinks somewhat under the onerous weight of the appellation "epic". The starkly gorgeous prairie comes alive…Combining the storytelling skills of Ivan Doig with the stunning landscapes in Karen Fisher’s A Sudden Country, Mitchell’s harrowing story delivers an unforgettable literary tribute to an immigrant people and their struggle. The lyrical style, the riveting historical material, and the treatment of prejudice make the novel a great book-club choice.” “Under This Unbroken Sky crushed and inspired me simultaneously, a novel I didn’t want to end. Shandi Mitchell’s prose strikes like a prairie thunder storm, every page building to an intensity that’s simply awing to behold. Brilliant and honest and brutal, this new voice feels as old and right as anything I’ve read in a very long time.” PrijzenOnderscheidingen
Out of prison, Theo Mykolayenkos tirelessly clears his untamed land on the 1938 Canadian prairie and begins to heal himself and his family, but when his sister's rogue husband returns, he stirs up rancor that will end in tragedy. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
