Despite the obvious differences in languages, national origin, etc, this book reminded me quite a bit of Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina. However, I liked the narrator much less in this book, actually to the point that it reduced my desire to read the book again. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the book, but the character bothered me quite a bit more than I had figured he would.

This is sort of a documentary of all people went through during the dust bowl. It is amazing what people can do to their environment and also what they can survive.

I used to love Gail's columns in Real Simple for their positive message. Well, this book is largely a collection of those columns! Still, I find her positive, upbeat, encouraging words worth re-reading.
