Laughing Boy: A Navajo Love Story by Oliver La Farge

4.0

Laughing Boy is an elegantly written love story, vast in its emotional substance. There was a poignant moment in every chapter. I love it when such a little novel can be so loaded. Young love for Laughing Boy and Slim Girl deftly mirrors the struggling relationship between the Navajo reservations and the modernizing Americans; the thin string that it all hangs so delicately from. La Farge writes with confidence and clarity. I will have to read this book again!
