Title: Delightfully engrossing historical novel
Review: Ms. Smith takes us to Yellowstone at the turn of the century where we spend a summer with an unlikely cadre of disparate personalities. Through their correspondence to the outside world, we are treated to their often contradictary perspectives. Essentially the story of a young female botanist, the book richly portrays the majesty of Yellowstone as well as the complex internal conflicts of it's explorers. Neither a light-hearted romp nor a heavy-handed effort, "Letters" is a subtle and satisfying portrait of their often turbulent experience...and the profound changes brought about by their inter-relationships and by the unique power of the park itself. Really good stuff!!
