3 comments about The Windshift Line: A Father and Daughter's Story.
- Windshift chronicles growth of observant understanding. The narrator's friends prepare for events and practice without the competitive overpowering presence of boys. They learn to use their heads. They learn about voice---not just physical voice, but presence, the ability to stand up and deliver, to take risks. They learn ways to answer the frequent question: "So, young lady, what have you done today to justify your existence". And they know that every dream of violence is a warning.
It is a book of discovery.
- I couldn't put it down. Rita Moir's descriptive and moving account of her life in rural Canada as a single woman made me feel as if I were accompanying her on this journey. She is a gifted writer with an ability to express her deepest emotions, yet maintain a vein of humor and logic. I look forward to reading more of her works.
- The Windshift Line takes us on a single woman's journey into her fears, her identity, her relationship with family, death and loss. It portrays a loving and strong family, and the roles people play within the family. It speaks to the value of community, of the natural world, of the bond with animals and the openness to love and express joy.
It is beautifully written, lyrical.
