She Who Remembers

Rating:
Summary: This book is the best in Southwestern Indian fiction!
Review: Mrs. Shuler is in a class by herself, she is the only author that I know of that received a nod from Mrs. Auel. This book is beautiful, filled with very colorfull characters and a gripping plot and the most wonderfull backdrop, the American Southwest.(I have been out there and it is as Mrs. Shuler writes it, the sky does go on forever!)

Summary: THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ!!!
Review: Oh, yeah. I liked the book.Very much. Why? It was more than wrote very touchingly, and all the way from start to the end it was mysterious and it kept going and it was still interesting also on last pages. In fact, it was all the way more and more touching in the end. I liked the ending, and almost cried. It was happy, but also sad... The whole book was also sexy, and I would also very much like to read the sequel, "The Voice of the Eagle", but I can never find it from library(I know there is one). I wonder how CAN someone write like this. I just couldn't stop reading.

Summary: It's Indiana Jonesesque with a female protagonist.
Review: Our neighborhood bar offers a free book exchange. We took it because of the comment by Jane Auel.(My husband loved her books.) I think "She Who Remembers" is a better story than the Clan books. The action takes place in 13th century America and creates a tale about the elusive Anasazi's. The story blends archeological data and Ameriand legend. It is action packed and a quick read. It hardly stops for a breath. I would reccommend it to any reader who enjoyed "Mists of Avalon.

Summary: A tale for all of us who long to remember knowledge lost.
Review: She Who Remberbers is a wonderful tale of a time of early Native Americans of the Southwest who were so close to nature and mother earth that they could communicate with plants and animals and the spirit world without questioning. The descriptions of the enviornments, the emotions, the sounds, smells and textures take the reader to the place where the world seemed more beautiful and fresh and innocent. The simplicity of the lives of the characters are paradoxically complex in how they use ancient knowledge to guide their interaction with their world. For anyone who has ever asked the question "how did they know?" about ancient people, She Who Remembers offers a moving response. Women will appreciate the authors perspective on the power of womankind presented through the lead character and the other women she had contact with. This story is romantic in all senses of the word. I was swept away and found it difficult to put the book down and leave the dream

Summary: Very touching and beautifully written
Review: She Who Remembers is a beautifully written and very touching novel that will bring tears to your eyes. Kwani will touch your heart like you never thought possible. Her tribe's cruel rejection of her because she was different proves that prejudice has existed throughout time and the pain it causes is always the same. Her unexpected friendship and love for a tribal medicine man also proves that there is hope in even the bleakest times. Contained within Kwani's story is also a very entertaining history lesson about the earliest beginnings of our country and it's people. Perhaps after reading this wonderful story we will realize how far we have strayed from mother nature and our own history. There is something to be learned from Kwani and her people, and that will make for a book you can't put down until you have turned the last page and leave you wishing for more

Summary: A Moving Story on Native Americans
Review: She Who Remembers, by Linda Lay Shuler, was a fabulous book on the lifestyles of Native Americans. Her use of imagery to portray the endless landscape of the plains adds a mystical allure to the story. The extensive research that went into the story was clear in Shuler's discription of the people and their lifestyles. The story of Kwani is moving, adventurous, and on the edge of your seat exciting. The story is romantic in parts and sad in others. If you do not believe in ancient magic and multiple Gods, you will by the end. Shuler's choice of diction to continually refer to the sun as sunfather and the moon as moonwoman etc., allows the reader to feel like they are actually inside of the story with the other characters. She portrays human instinct with conflict and lust. She proves that the pilgrims were not the first to create witches to solve why death and drought come upon a community. She Who Remembers is the number one novel on Americas prehistory.

Summary: A page turner for Native American experience
Review: The story is slow in the beginning (stick with it), but towards the middle, expect all kinds of twists and turns. It kind of reminds me of Clan of the Cave Bear book. The story is similar with a woman that is adopted by a tribe that never accepts her differences. If you like the idea of learning what it might have been like to be a Native American in New Mexico, this has lots of details! She is a strong headed character that always seems to get herself into trouble. The main focus is not her romance with her male counter parts, but more a story of her trying to find her place in the world.

Summary: The only book I've ever read that I just couldn't put down!
Review: The story of Kwani and her voyage to find her heratage made an interesting story line that made me want the book to never end. I read it three years ago and to this day I still consider it my favorite book in the whole entire world. Linda Lay Shuler had a way of making Kwani's trouble fitting into her world so familiar but then again different in the since of time and the ways of life. I could not explain my love for this book enough all I know is that it made a person who didn't like to read take another look at books
