Synopsis :

Acclaim for Ivan Doig's work begun with his 1978 memoir, This House of Sky. With powerful echoes of a family and its fate, this terrifically appealing companion builds with the drama and characters that only real life can hold.

Présentation de l'éditeur: Ivan Doig grew up with only a vague memory of his mother, Berneta, who died on his sixth birthday. Then he discovered a cache of her letters--and through them, a spunky, passionate, can-do woman as at home in the saddle as behind a sewing machine, and as in love with language as Doig would prove to be. In this moving prequel to his acclaimed memoir This House of Sky, Doig brings to life his childhood before his mother's death and the family's journey from the Montana mountains to the Arizona desert and back again. He eloquently captures the texture of the American West during and after World War II, the fortune of a family, and one woman's indomitable spirit.
