“A joyous celebration of wilderness.”
—Publishers Weekly
“These are clear-sighted, alluring, often genuinely luminous essays, by a writer for whom the form seems as natural as speaking.”
—Richard Ford
“Here is a woman to admire and love. In Homestead Smith gives us the whole vivid Montana scene: ranchers, wildlife biologists, poets and country bands, good neighbors, horses and trout. . . . A passionate story, beautifully told.”
—Annie Dillard
“Homestead makes a wonderful addition to the growing body of Western women's memoirs. The view is excellent, the air and water clear. And you will find your visit with Annick Smith to be truly worthwhile.”
—Journal of the West
“One of Smith's best essays is on state cattle inspectors, who keep track of the 57,000 brands now recorded in Montana; another good one describes life on the Big Blackfoot, made famous in Norman Maclean's A River Runs Through It which Smith helped to adapt for the screen.”
—Los Angeles Times
