Engrossing tale of pioneer life and obsession
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a beautifully written and intriguing tale of pioneer life on the coast of Oregon and of the consequences of obsession. The author employed an unconventional literary device, the unsympathetic first-person narrator, and packed a lot of atmosphere, history, drama, and humor into this short novel. I enjoyed it very much. OSU Press should be commended for reissuing Don Berry's excellent works. I only wish that more care was taken in proofreading. The publisher committed too many typographical errors to not go "unpunished", for which I deduct one star.
