Title: Beautiful,Cruel and Tedious
Review: This was a choice for my book club. I wouldn't have red it otherwise. I found the book repetitious and quite tedious in thememoirs of an 84 year old woman discussing her early childhood growing up on the border of Arizona and Mexico where she spendsher time as a 5 and 6 year old from 1909 to 1911. It is hard to belive that as a 5 year old girl she was out herding cattle androunding up wild horses by herself.The descriptions of the landscape in the southern part of Arizona were well written. But, I would have liked to know more aboutwhat happened in the author's life beyond those two years of childhood. Luckily for me The person leading the discussion has researchedthis information. I would only recommend reading this book if you are truly interesed in the Southwest in the early 1900s and wantto do more research on the author.
Is the review positive or negative?
