Reviews

John Lyon has changed the mold somewhat in providing complete Nsyilxcen texts on a separate page, preceding the linguistic explanations. This gives advanced learners and teachers an invaluable resource: a wealth of written literature that can be read, enjoyed, and taught from. -Michele K. Johnson, Syilx Language House Association -- Michele K. Johnson The collection is masterfully constructed, reflecting Lottie Lindley's distinctive narrative voice in Okanagan and in English. At once a carefully annotated documentation of the Okanagan language as well as a record of history, culture, and land, the book is a testament to the power of narrative in Okanagan and a wonderful gift to future generations. -Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins, associate professor of linguistics at the University of Victoria -- Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins This volume sets a new standard for combining accessibility to the speaker community and academic rigor. -David Beck, professor of linguistics at the University of Alberta -- David Beck [The voice of] Lottie Lindley, full of both personal character and the reserved and patient wisdom of the elder, comes through the transcriptions clearly, movingly, and with cumulative power. -Ursula K. LeGuin, winner of the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters -- Ursula K. LeGuin
