Heart Earth [J0195]

1994 - PB Nice clean condition. Doig returns to the rich territory he explored in This House of Sky in this moving prequel--a stunning memoir that captures the texture of the American West during and after World War II. This House of Sky movingly captures the atmosphere of the American West during the World War II years, as the author rediscovers memories of his long-dead mother after finding letters she wrote.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I like this author. His prose is almost poetic and worth savoring."; "If words were colors and memories a breeze, then Ivan Doig's memoir is a tapestry bringing us to our knees."; "A beautiful memoir. It made me laugh and it made me cry. His writing is pure magic."
