I listened to about two thirds of it and then rejected it because it was just repetitive and unbelievable. the publisher says "...becomes a moving and deeply personal contemplation of the enormous spiritual power of the natural world..." She had me at multiple snakes on the property, but then when she began to converse with bees and two dogs with pet mouse and a talking one legged parrot, I just lost confidence with credibility and more of the book. When she complained to the county about disturbing the rocks, I thought that they must think her nutty. DNF. ( ) I really really really love this book. Through this book I've been given a new way to percieve snakes, instead of purely seeing them as venomous and frightening, Leslie describes the snakes that live around her house as individuals, and respects them as such. I'm also enjoying her descriptions of landscape and clouds, the weather having it's own aliveness. Is it pantheism? I'm really getting a strong feeling of her connection to her landscape and the other animals inhabiting it, which I'm missing in my life. I'm getting a lot out of reading these memoirs, and I think I'll probably keep reading it continuously when I've finished it.
It reads like reflections written on legal tablets that have been heavily refined, edited. The dust jacket calls it “inventive structure.” I call it confusing. PrijzenErelijsten
Silko takes readers along on her daily walks through the arroyos and ledges of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, weaving tales from both sides of her family's past into her observations, and using the turquoise stones that she finds on her walks to unite the strands of her stories.
