Product Description

Review

"Bohemian Girl is beautiful and believable and altogether wonderful. Terese Svoboda has transmuted a familiar story and setting and character types into a fine and movingly original piece of fiction that I'm still haunted by. She will, of course, be compared to Willa Cather - and deservedly so." Kurt Andersen, author of New York Times bestseller Heyday, winner of the Langum Prize for American Historical Fiction

Product Description

Young Harriet's father sells her as a slave to settle his gambling debt with an eccentric Indian - and her story is just beginning. Part Huck Finn, part True Grit, Harriet's story of her encounter with the dark and brutal history of the American West is a true original. When she escapes the strange mound-building obsession of her Pawnee captor, Harriet sets off on a trek to find her father, only to meet with ever-stranger characters and situations along the way. She befriends a Jewish prairie peddler, escapes with a chanteuse, is imprisoned in a stockade and rescued by a Civil War balloonist, and becomes an accidental shopkeeper and the surrogate mother to an abandoned child, while abetting the escape of runaway slaves. A picaresque in the American vein, Terese Svoboda's new novel is the Bohemian answer to Willa Cather's iconic My Antonia. Lifting the shadows off an entire era of American history in one brave girl's quest to discover who she is, Bohemian Girl gives full play to Svoboda's prodigious talents for finding the dark and the strange in the sunny American story - and the beauty and the hope in its darkest moments.

Good read 11 Mar 2012

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book was interesting according to my sister who I bought the book for. It really keeps your attention and was a good story
Dark Plains 30 Oct 2011
By sondra olsen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Svoboda's dazzling imagination rides again.
Her heroine, whose real name we never know, sets off through the wilderness with a stranger's baby on her back to discover her lost Pa and her sisters. She finds pioneers we could never imagine on our own, including an amazing princely balloonist and marauders in bonnets.
It may take a few pages to get used to the heroine's remarkable voice--brave, stoic, resourceful, sometimes naive--but soon her dark adventures on the plains draw you in for a memorable read.

in favor of the balloon 7 Nov 2011
By lolita calls from the grave - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Suspend belief and see something you have had an inkling of prior to reading but can't say exactly what.... until you follow the nameless hero,-- as all hero's should be-- and travel to a place both seen before and then never seen again. The nameless girl is reminiscent of Svoboda's masterful narrator in Cannibal, whose voice we have been waiting to hear for sometime now.
