Representaion To Books Dalva (Dalva #1)

From her home on the California coast, Dalva hears the broad silence of the Nebraska prairie where she was born and longs for the son she gave up for adoption years before. Beautiful, fearless, tormented, at forty-five she has lived a life of lovers and adventures. Now, Dalva begins a journey that will take her back to the bosom of her family, to the half-Sioux lover of her youth, and to a pioneering great-grandfather whose journals recount the bloody annihilation of the Plains Indians. On the way, she discovers a story that stretches from East to West, from the Civil War to Wounded Knee and Vietnam -- and finds the balm to heal her wild and wounded soul.

Article Epithetical Books Dalva (Dalva #1)

I had a lot in common with the late, great author Jim Harrison. Just like me, he loved nature and the outdoors, fine food & spirits, and pheasant hunting. His writing is both poetic and profound, and is often quite hilarious. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. I have read several of Harrison's books, but I think DALVA is my favorite. One thing that I liked best about this novel was that a majority of it was set in the sand hills of Nebraska, which is in the north central part of the

Embedded in this brilliant novel is this single poignant sentence:Back on the front porch, I saw her in the far corner of the yard, pushing an empty tire swing as if it held an imaginary child.Jim Harrison can raise a lump in your throat. By this point in the book we are already in love with Dalva. She is 45, beyond intelligent, fetching, equal parts sentimental and pragmatic. She is as self-sufficient as it is possible to be. She can, as they say, ride a horse. When she was a young girl, she



Jim Harrison has joined the ranks of Wallace Stegner and Larry McMurtry as among my very favorite of the authors that write about the western US and it's history. It is another of those books that was such a profound experience reading, that I want to have time to just sit with it before I begin examining it and taking apart the three generational story it tells. There are a lot of layers packed in here. The one aspect I will comment on is the voice and character of Dalva. I always find it brave

Three point five stars.There are several male authors who are generally regarded as having a great ability to write from the perspective of a female character. When I read these authors I disagree with the assessment, most notably because they fail to capture the true complexity that is the essence of being a woman. Jim Harrison is an exception. With the character of Dalva, he explores all the layers of conflict and identity that are part of growing up female in a patriarchal society.Dalva, at

This is my first book by Jim Harrison. First, Harrison is a very good writer. He has all the moves, he knows what he is doing, and he does what he does as well as anyone else. This book was warm, occasionally wise, often amusing (particularly Michael and Lundquist), and threaded with enough 'adventure' (the Northridge diaries) to keep a reader committed to seeing how everything will end. The bad? The structure of the novel didn't really work for me - part 1, Dalva's 1st person journal to her
