WINNER WINNER WINNER

Have you read it, Marj? Several of us here have, and I forget who liked or disliked it--some of both.

marjifay · « **Reply #6141 on:** June 21, 2014, 07:00:17 PM »

That was a good one, Pat. No, I haven't read it. In fact, I'd never heard of it.

The author is Molly Gloss. Her best book, IMHO, is The Jump-off Creek. Inspired by the life of the author's grandmother, it tells of a woman setting up a homestead, solo, in western Oregon. It's short and terse, with not much plot line, but really gives you a feel for what it was like.

The Hearts of Horses deals with a young woman who, during WWI, when able-bodied men are scarce, gets a job in a small Oregon town breaking horses. She has a good feel for what horses need, and how to handle them. It's a really good job of capturing the feel of the time.

Gloss also wrote a well-regarded science fiction novel The Dazzle of Day--a colonizing a new world story.
