Summary: The Pleasure of Her Company
Review: As soon as I finished "Weeding At Dawn" I wanted to open to page one and start all over again, so much is the pleasure to be in Madrone's company as she weaves nonfiction story, journal entry or poem into a rich tapesty of life on the land. Readers who have joyed in the writings of such authors as May Sarton, Terry Tempest Williams, Annie Dillard, to name but a few, will find "Weeding At Dawn" another source for inspiration and delight. Madrone's memoir is richly detailed, deftly turned with just the right metaphors and images; the content is sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, sometimes sensual. It is an evocative portrayal of lesbian country life as well as an invitation to all readers to the meditative richness of rural solitude. Frankly, Thoreau's writings, while certainly full of words to ponder, pales in comparison to this memoir's life in the Oregon woods. I guarantee readers will love the pleasure of Madrone's company not once but many times.
