I agree. Few people know her work. I also own The Harvester and Her Father’s Daughter. I didn’t like Her Father’s Daughter at all. Very racist and angry. Nasty book.
(of course, given what we have learned about Japanese spies in the U.S. prior to WWII, she may not have been ALL wrong. I think Midwesterners who move to California find it very disorienting.)
She was much better when she wrote about what she knew and loved -- the wild places of Indiana (doesn't that sound funny?)
