HTML: Young Harriet's father sells her as a slave to settle his gambling debt with an eccentric Indian??and her story is just beginning. Part Huck Finn, part True Grit, Harriet's story of her encounter with the dark and brutal history of the American West is a true original. When she escapes the strange mound-building obsession of her Pawnee captor, Harriet sets off on a trek to find her father, only to meet with ever-stranger characters and situations along the way. She befriends a Jewish prairie peddler, escapes with a chanteuse, is imprisoned in a stockade and rescued by a Civil War balloonist, and becomes an accidental shopkeeper and the surrogate mother to an abandoned child, while abetting the escape of runaway slaves. A picaresque in the American vein, Terese Svoboda's new novel is the Bohemian answer to Willa Cather's iconic My Ántonia. Lifting the shadows off an entire era of American history in one brave girl's quest to discover who she is, Bohemian Girl gives full play to Svoboda's prodigious talents for finding the dark and the strange in the sunny American story??and the beauty and the hope in its darkest momen Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The tale of a young girl, lost in a bet to an Indian by her father, is of a strong woman who survives by her wits and brains. The physical and historical settings lend themselves to a novel that I would love to recommend, the writing style prevents me from doing so. ( )
