5.0

There is no writer whose words I have yet encountered that comes anywhere near as skillful and gifted in the realm of writing in unison with nature. Bessie Head takes these forces and elements of surroundings, of the earth and beautifully merges them in with the plot, the characters and their ideals. Her writing is one with nature. A gift.
