Description

In Songs of the Fluteplayer, the charm and challenge of the spectacularly beautiful American Southwest are irresistibly captured by a woman who risked much to find a new life and greater which means there. Sharman Apt Russell and her husband moved to the Mimbres Valley in southwestern New Mexico to be able to lead a more practical yet more substantial life. Their efforts to be self-sufficient-building an adobe house, giving birth at home, growing their very own food-shattered many ideals and forced compromises but in addition renewed their ties to one another and kindled their respect for the land and its other folks. The American Southwest that Russell fell in love with comes to life vividly in her writing. From Navajo weavers to illegal Mexican workers, trading posts to prehistoric pottery, water rights disputes to the omnipresent fluteplayer Kokopelli-the energy and wonder of the Southwest is well known on this enchanting book.
