Well I read this book way back in‘79 when it was published and am now reading again—all 1,300 pages! So it‘s a classic that I love especially the part where she goes with the Lewis and Clark expedition. But a fair warning— a lot is fiction but there are notes and footnotes explaining the authors view.

I smiled and cried (oh how I cried) reading this book. It‘s about the Holodomor of Ukraine during Stalins purge, so it‘s based on fact. Read authors note in the back first. Don‘t let the little type scare you—it will go fast as it‘s un-put downable. Bought through Amazon.

Am still reading the book—has very thought provoking passages and lots to feel real good about. I will keep this book in my “keep pile” for sure!

Too “wholesome”. The characters are very well presented.
