Industry Reviews
"...Ms. Hogan never loses sight of the strange incongruence of an ancient native culture caught up in the whirl of 20th-century technology. And her sensuous descriptions of the sights, smells, and sounds of the natural world are tempered by heart-wrenching depictions of rural poverty."
New York Times Book Review - Maggie Garb (11/26/1995)
"The land is alive in Linda Hogan's new novel 'Solar Storms', which is, quite simply, the best book I have read so far this year. My first impulse upon finishing the last page was to go back and start again, to experience this rich and moving novel a second time...Rarely does a novelist impart such love of a people and their homes and their daily lives. That love is what makes the book so outstanding."
Boston Book Review - David McLean
"Becoming human...is the drama at the heart of this stunning book...dazzling and heartbreaking because its vivid stories and characters make an eloquent case for the wisdom of a way of life that has been--and is still being--wiped out."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Susan Heeger (02/21/1996)
