I can't put this book down. I read a bit and it seems to go no where, just a woman walking and picking up rocks in the desert. But I find myself going back again and again to read more. It feels like I am walking in the desert behind her, noticing the rocks over and over, living with the rattlesnakes and the mastiffs, noticing the rain clouds and hearing the bits and pieces of her life and family history.
The prose is beautiful. I can picture the trees and cactus, I can feel this life lived with the animals, reptiles, birds and insects. There is no gossip, no reality shows, no newspapers although here is a woman obviously paying attention to modern society, politics and their impact on the natural world she inhabits.
I open the book over and over to listen to this woman share her life with me. She doesn't care if I like her, she is simply speaking the truth of her life, one day at a time. She is intense, focused on her surroundings. She lives as an artist integrated into her environment. She doesn't consider herself as a human being to be the center of the universe. I am married into a Native American family and Silko reminds me of many of my women in-laws. Her voice rings true. She does not have a European American sensibility.
