Albert’s new bride is coming from a Quaker life to help him run the ranch. They barely know each other, but both are excited to start their life. The couple will find great love among the hardships of life in the dust bowl and the depression. I really enjoyed all the character, even the ancillary ones. The book has a list of questions for book clubs. Some are very thought provoking and would lead to great discussion. ( ) I picked up this book several years ago because the characters were Quakers and I have long had a curiosity about the culture. The book is very well written, keeping the readers full attention, yet not so dense as to be confusing or occassionally "lost" while reading. I savoured Plain Language - subjects of integrity, facing the realities of what it is to be a human being and a woman's personal turmoil with weighing her own expectations and learning acceptance of life on its own terms. I leant the book out many times, each recipient sharing in the pleasure that the story gave me, until finally it was not returned. I'm certain thatmy copy of Plain Language is on someones lap at this very moment with it's reader refreshed and considering which good friend she will share it with. - Susan Dion Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Virginia Mendenhall, a Quaker from North Carolina, is thirty-three years old when she travels to the arid plains of eastern Colorado in the mid-1930s to marry Alfred Bowen, ten years her senior. They have met only twice and have come to love each other through letters. Now, on an isolated ranch in the Dust Bowl, they must adjust to the harsh ranching life and the dangers of an untamed landscape, as well as the differences between them. With an extended drought worsening the impact of the Depression in the West, neighbors turn against neighbors, and secrets from Alfred and Virginia's pasts come back to haunt them. But it is the arrival of Virginia's troubled brother on the ranch that sets off a chain of events with life-and-death consequences for them all. Plain Language is a beautifully told tale of a man and woman fighting against tremendous odds for their land -- and their love. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
