Description In Favor Of Books Solar Storms
From Pulitzer Prize finalist Linda Hogan, Solar Storms tells the moving, “luminous” (Publishers Weekly) story of Angela Jenson, a troubled Native American girl coming of age in the foster system in Oklahoma, who decides to reunite with her family.At seventeen, Angela returns to the place where she was raised—a stunning island town that lies at the border of Canada and Minnesota—where she finds that an eager developer is planning a hydroelectric dam that will leave sacred land flooded and abandoned. Joining up with three other concerned residents, Angela fights the project, reconnecting with her ancestral roots as she does so.
Harrowing, lyrical, and boldly incisive, Solar Storms is a powerful examination of the clashes between cultures and traumatic repercussions that have shaped American history.

Quite possibly my favorite book ever. It's definitely in the top five. It's an intense story of family, love, change, healing from abuse, and decolonization. Linda Hogan's writing is exquisite--it's obvious that she's also a gifted poet with each paragraph. I remember the first time I finished reading this, I was sitting in the atrium at the public library, clutching the book to my chest and sobbing while total strangers were uncomfortably shooting sidelong glances my way. It's that beautiful.Check out my book blog for more book reviews and other bookish posts!The author of Solar Storms, Linda Hogan is the Chickasaw Nations Writer in Residence. I decided to choose this book as I am not reading enough books by Native American authors and I really need to do better in that aspect. Also, I love reading fiction books that discuss environmental conservation (I have an MSc and BSc in environmental science related subjects). The blurb was also very intriguing and thus I decided to get the
I think I gave this book 5 stars partly because I read it in the middle of the woods off the grid in northwest Ontario (a very good venue). I had not read anything by Linda Hogan before, but I loved the characters she painted with her gift of poetry. I totally fell in love with the elder natives, and the protagonist as she bloomed into herself and the traditions she had missed as a child. There is just so much love in this book, and hope that we can write a new story to handle the pain of the
Multi-leveled story that goes so deep into the setting and culture and yet leaves you feeling like you never got to know the main character. Sticks with you. After reading it twice, I think I'll have to take a half a dozen more looks at it before I descend into all the levels on which this book thinks and works.
THIS IS AN OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS OF THE ENTIRE BOOK SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO REREAD IT FOR MY LITERATURE CLASS. OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS!!!Ok so generally this book was very long winded and not always very engaging, BUT the writing was absolutely gorgeous. I don't know if I've ever read a book with such beautiful prose. It really added to a number of the themes. That said, I think it is best to organize this overview by themes and symbols so that I can come back to my notes and use them in a class
I unexpectedly came to like this book. It was written beautifully. The descriptions, the dialogueeverything flowed together so nicely, and it was a very welcome change after the last book I read, which was lacking a lot when it came to description. This book tackled environmental destruction in favor of damming brilliantly. I was shamefully ignorant about this topic before reading this, and now Im glad that this gave me leeway into learning more about it. I absolutely loved the characters
