Bookseller recommendation

“Leslie Marmon Silko (author of best-selling Ceremony) has written a book that is part memoir and part nature-writing. Using the backdrop of Arizona’s nature trails, Silko weaves tales from her family’s past into her observations of the landscape around her. In the tradition of Native American storytelling, The Turquoise Ledge is an intimate memoir of memory, nature, observation and the spiritual veins that connects us all. A must-have for both Silko fans and anyone who loves Terry Tempest Williams.”

Summary

Leslie Marmon Silko established herself as "the finest prose writer of her generation" (Larry McMurtry) with her debut novel Ceremony, one of the most acclaimed works of the 20th century. Of mixed Laguna Pueblo, Cherokee, Mexican, and white heritage, Silko brings a unique perspective to her powerful works. In this deeply personal and spiritual book, she combines memoirs, traditional storytelling, and ruminations on the natural world. ".this richly veined, dramatic, and mysterious self-portrait [is] a provocative and numinous memoir."-Booklist, starred review
