The story of Funda's family unfolds within the larger context of our country's rich immigrant history, western culture, and farming as a science and an art. Situated at the crossroads of American farming, Weeds: A Farm Daughter's Lament offers a clear view of the nature, the cost, and the transformation of the American West. Part cultural history, part memoir, and part elegy, the book reminds us that in losing our attachment to the land we also lose some of our humanity and something at the very heart of our identity as a nation.
Reviews / Votes
"I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed Weeds. Such a truthful book. Your book made me admire Evelyn Funda, yearn to become a farmer, wish to live out West, and love the real America all at once! "-Alexander Theroux "A moving look back at a lost way of life."-Leigh Newman, New York Times Sunday Book Review "The result of Funda's lyrical merging of metaphor and landscape ecology is an unforgettable portrait of the hybrid landscape where her farm family lived and loved in a temporary community of hopes and weeds. . . . It is a remarkable book that any child of the West should read, no matter how old and sage."-Max Geier, Pacific Northwest Quarterly "This book stands among the best works in the genre, and it should attract the attention of those interested in narrative scholarship, agriculture, and theories of place."Tyler Nickl, ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment "Funda ranges over subjects as diverse as seed hybridization, ex-urbanites, early-20th-century Idaho, storytelling, postwar exile and mutable family mythologies. The resounding theme is her search for home."-Kirkus "Part cultural history, part memoir, and part elegy, Weeds reminds us that in losing our attachment to the land we also lose some of our humanity and something at the very heart of our identity as a nation."-Tom Williams, Utah Public RadioMore details
