Read: Amy Irvine - Trespass

I read about three quarters of this book while visiting my mother this past weekend. I thought I would really like it - it's a memoir by a woman who moved out to a cabin in the utah desert wilderness, to get back to nature and her Mormon ancestral roots in the area. But it was a pretty odd book. Her style of writing is fractured and melodramatic, which seems to reflect her emotional stability - during the course of time covered in the memoir she's dealing with her father's suicide and the end of her marriage. I really can't recommend this one.
