This moving novel of pioneer life in Arizona has become a classic. Based on the life of the author's mother, it overturns every stereotype of western womanhood. "Comes closer to the truth and the validity of the so-called winning of the West than anything I have ever read. It is terrifying, heartbreaking and remarkable. . . . Filaree is also one of the most magnificent portraits of a woman that exists in our literature."--Howard Fast "I loved Filaree, I didn't just read it, I crawled between the pages and lived it."--Lily Tomlin "An extraordinary performance. . . . a powerful antidote to the romantic illusions some people have about ranch people and life on the range. . . . As a writer, Mrs. Noble makes no compromises. She tells her story in plain country American dialect, offers no exaggerated sex or violence, no vulgar talk. She is a realist in the best sense, a breath of fresh air in these free-wheeling times."--C. L. Sonnichsen ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS Marguerite Noble (1910 - 2007) was an important Arizona novelist, teacher and community member. ACCLAIM "The literature style of Filaree is simple, fitting to the people, time, place." -- Library Journal "Filaree . . . celebrates her adaptability and accomplishment. This novel is a spunky commemoration of the stubborn spirit of the frontier to resist, survive, and prevail." -- Western American Literature ". . . an engrossing tale . . . recommended for historical fiction readers." -- The Midwest Book Review This book by my beloved seventh grade teacher, who taught me just about all I know about the English sentence structure, is a fictionalized account of her mother, who rode a wagon trail from Texas to Arizona in the early 1900's. If you are interested in what life was like for pioneering women in the West, this is a book that will lay it out for you. Marguerite Nobel was the real deal, a Westerner through and though, who was as cowboy tough as she was literate. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
