Title: Unvarnished voices
Review: This book is a selection of stories, told in the voice of the person who was interviewed, about what the dustbowl years were like. I loved seeing the different takes on life at that time. One thing the author did was stay true to the voice of the person so you will find the work strange as it is not 'edited'. Still, I thought the stories were worth it.While I don't know and have never met the author of this book, I was fortunate enough to know one of the contributors, Lillian Jeffryes. I had an opportunity to see the house where she lived during the dustbowl and found her description of all that dust, in everything including their food interesting (if a little repetitious). Looking at the house (long since torn down), I thought of all that dust swirling around, eking into every little crack.For someone interested in what it was like, this is a very good book.
