"[A] touching picaresque journey through the deserts of the west and the landscape of memory."―Washington Post Book World
Verna Flake is fleeing Utah, a failed marriage (her husband has left her for a former beauty queen named Pinky), and the constricted yet reliable Mormon way of life. Seemingly naive but also gifted with an almost second sight for the emotional heart of things, Verna relates her adventures on the road, in Los Angeles, and eventually in Mexico, as she confronts her future and muses over her past. Reading group guide included."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Back Cover:
"Under the plain honesty and generosity of Judith Freeman's writing is a delicate and impressive artistic strength. I read The Chinchilla Farm right through as a fascinating story, but...it lingers in my mind as a true journey through the desert of the West and of the soul."
From the Inside Flap:
-- Ursula K. Le Guin"A beautiful, enigmatic novel that explores the nature of human connections." -- Los Angeles Times
"Elegant and unexpected...The Chinchilla Farm is literature at its best." -- Chicago Tribune
mon in a small town in Utah, married to a stiflingly conventional adulterer, Verna Flake has gotten tired of pretending. So she heads for Los Angeles, where people have the freedom to find themselves over and over again. In this lyrical and keenly observant novel Judith Freeman captures the solitude, the dislocation, and the offbeat optimism of the American West in a way that raises comparison with writers like Louise Erdrich and Bobbie Ann Mason.
