I listened to this book on my MP3 player and simply loved it. The narration was as exceptional as the book itself. I have suggested it already to many of my friends.
A wonderful story about a group of women thrown into a completely different culture and forced to become part of the Indian community. Very well written and compelling, after a few chapters you won't want to put it down. Paints an intriguing picture of how life was like for the American Indians and how two completely different cultures can come together and the people can learn to accept each other and even protect those who were recently strangers.
Luv the speed w/which I rcd the book. LOVED the book. We read it for book club & couldn't say enough about the women in the book or the author's ability to make us feel right there going thru every joy & sorrow w/them. Touching & uplifting.
Anytime I can still remember a book and its plot after a few weeks, it is worthy of a review, it must be memorable. I read this book a few years ago. It still stands as one of my favorite books of all time. I have to say, you do believe you are there and it could have actually happened. An excellent read.
The heroine always gets the best guy in the story. The book was definitely a page-turner, but more along the lines of a well-written romance novel than anything else. The characters were all cliches, from the plucky, intelligent, young and beautiful heroine (May Dodd) to the Indian chief full of integrity and quiet strength (who naturally picked May to be his bride). It was hard to tell fact from fiction, but in the end it didn't really matter. This is a great book to read at the beach, but doesn't have much more literary value that that.
