Book Review of Wild Life

Wild Life
Wild Life
Author: Molly Gloss
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover
Helpful Score: 2


The subject matter of the Pacific Northwest lumbermen and women's lifes at the beginning of the century, of a feminist woman and her feminist mother, and Sasquatch type animal/humans with whom she lives is very well written, and an adventure that will keep you turning the pages. Plus the book is anchored in historical reality. All the going back and forth between the mother and daughter was very confusing and distracting. Nonetheless if you are interested in cultural anthropolgy, you will marvel at the experiences the protagonist has while living with the wild men/apes of legend. It opened my eyes to new possibilites.
