Reviews
"Piercingly beautiful. . . . Aldrich's pioneer woman was based on her mother, and the integrity of her depiction of life in a sod house in the late nineteeth-century Nebraska speaks to her readers. . . . In her own introduction Aldrich writes of wanting to tell her mother's story after her mother's death: 'Other writers had depicted the Midwest's early days, but so often they had pictured their women as gaunt, browbeaten creatures, despairing women whom life seemed to defeat. That was not my mother. Not with her courage, her humor, her nature that would cause her to say at the end of her life: 'We had the best time in the world.'"-- Belles Lettres "The language is good and sturdy and dotted with imaginative metaphors and similes ('Silence, so deep, that it roared in its vast vacuum'). If the book tries to crowd too much life into 300 pages, well, there was a lot of life: 'We old pioneers,' Abbie says at the end, 'we dreamed dreams into the country.'"-- Milwaukee Journal
