I found it rather hard to get into at first, but I persevered, and eventually found it intensely moving. Oddly, I was especially interested in the aspects of it that were about Mormonism. I had no idea that religion was so connected to the land. And her feminist grappling with her upbringing and culture was fascinating.

I also found myself deeply envying her relationships with members of her family.

But mostly I found the whole thing very beautiful, and I've found myself recommending it to people at strange moments.

So thank you. :)
