I was most impressed with the descriptions of the times and places there in New Mexico. It tells exactly how people lived and what was happening in their minds as a year passed. He touching story that I would hope many more will have a chance to read.

Constant mispronunciation

This narrator is pretty terrible. Doesn’t have good timing and pronounces things wrong and the same word different ways at different times!
