It’s a story that is disturbing about our own history and greed – greed that caused a slow death for many of the Indians who had lived in that area in peace for thousands of years. In addition to man-made issues, nature is harsh and many lives are lost. Death took both young and old and it was not racially biased. The chapters alternate between characters. Mostly it is Mellie’s point of view. Mellie’s chapters are told in her first person account whereas the other chapters are third person. This felt a bit disrupting, but it purposely showed the ownership of the story to Mellie. I did also have a difficult time following the conversation of Bahé. It slowed down the flow of the story as the reader ponders her meaning. I rated Rush of Shadows at 3.5 out of 5.
First line: May 1855 – Mellie
“It was a beautiful country, though I hated and feared it, coming over the mountains with the wagon staggering on a gimpy wheel, black crags towering over the track, the sky blue and thick as a flatiron, and the vultures turning and turning on the hot wind, waiting for somebody to die.”
