Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m a touch divided on this one. It‘s evocative and well-observed, and it‘s got a lot of heart as it explores how people move forward after trauma. I liked it a lot.

At the same time, Wagamese‘s fondness for passive phrasings makes his prose feel more purple than it actually is, and I disliked the gender dynamics. DREAM WHEELS is full of strong, capable women who don‘t go after anything for themselves. They‘re almost totally focused on the men.⬇️

I loved this!! Richard Wagamese is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors. This starts out with a very graphic bull riding accident and then a rape and I almost DNF‘d it. I decided to try again and then I got sucked in right away. I would recommend the print version as opposed to the audio though because it changes perspective without any heads up and was a little hard to follow at first.

I love his storytelling.

An inspirational story that flows a bit slow on audio. Because I grew up around rodeos and cowboy action the visuals were easy to imagine. I'm so sad Wagamese will not be writing anymore books as he tells a great story and I have been a big fan. Dream Wheels is much less disturbing than most of his reads but just as much heart. This book makes anything seem possible. Not sure about the ending...

Being new to Litsy I am detecting a common thread so will go with the trend - it seems books and food go together well?...?

Listening on ferry - cowboys and Indians giddyup
