We may have to gain some inspiration on this one. I really enjoyed this memoir. Laura Bell is a somewhere between a lost soul and a free spirit when she goes to live in the mountains of Wyoming as a sheep herder. The telling of her life story takes the reader down unexpected, non-traditional paths. The reader is allowed to be witness to the joys and sorrows, loves and losses of this one woman's life. It is an incredible journey with the magnificent backdrop of the Wyoming landscape, rugged and unforgiving....like much of life! This memoir packed punch after punch. Bell as a 24 yr old sheepherder in the Big Horns of Wyoming was fascinating. Then life throws her a curve when she finds herself married to an alcoholic. In the third part of the book, the reader suffers along with Bell through her poignant memories. Exquisite language...very lean, very poetic. A captivating read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
In 1977, Laura Bell, at loose ends after graduating from college, leaves her family home in Kentucky for a wild and unexpected adventure: herding sheep in Wyoming's Big Horn Basin. By turns cattle rancher, forest ranger, outfitter, masseuse, wife and mother, Bell vividly recounts her struggle to find solid earth in which to put down roots.
