From Pulitzer Prize finalist Linda Hogan, Solar Storms tells the moving, "luminous" (Publishers Weekly) story of Angela Jenson, a troubled Native American girl coming of age in the foster system in Oklahoma, who decides to reunite with her family. At seventeen, Angela returns to the place where she was raised--a stunning island town that lies at the border of Canada and Minnesota--where she finds that an eager developer is planning a hydroelectric dam that will leave sacred land flooded and abandoned. Joining up with three other concerned residents, Angela fights the project, reconnecting with her ancestral roots as she does so. Harrowing, lyrical, and boldly incisive, Solar Storms is a powerful examination of the clashes between cultures and traumatic repercussions that have shaped American history.… (plus d'informations)

I wouldn't say I enjoyed reading it, but I like the book. It's well-written and full of sadness. ( )

I read this very quickly in college, but I hope to read it again some time to allow myself to really revel in the language. ( )

This is a hard book for me to review. I found the first half so slow that I nearly stopped reading. But the second half only gets better and better! ( )

There was a lot to love about this book. Hogan's beautiful writing, the environmental ethic, the cast of strong female characters--just to name a few. I had some serious issues with momentum (or lack there of) that made the book less enjoyable to read, but I'd still recommend reading it. ( )

Solar Storms' extraordinarily beautiful prose makes it a book to savour. It's a coming of age story set in remote Native American community (I don't believe the nation is ever named; Hogan herself is Chickasaw) near the border of Minnesota and Canada, where a young woman called Angel leaves behind the foster system in order to live with her great-grandmother Agnes, her great-great-grandmother Dora Rouge and her step-grandmother Bush. Hogan's writing is full of insight; admittedly, it can tend towards the didactic and the romanticized at points, but overall there is a sense of dignity and restraint here that's compelling. The ending is balanced beautifully between grief and hope. Highly recommended. ( )

"Hogan's finely tuned descriptions of the land and its spiritual significance draw a parallel between the ravages suffered by the environment and those suffered by Angela's mother. And, as the land is transformed, so are the lives of the characters, often in deeply resonant ways."
