An epic saga of love and adventure among the ancient people who built the mysterious hidden cities in the canyons of the Southwest. The novel of America's prehistory.--Jean M. Auel.
I don't normally like romance novels; however, being of native American heritage, I thought I'd give Linda Lay Shuler's books a chance. I was living in a homeless shelter when I found a box of books, one of which was the second in this trilogy, Voice of the Eagle. At the time, I had no idea that it was part of a trilogy. I couldn't put it down, and when I found out it was second in a series, I had to read all three in order. Shuler really put a lot of work into these novels, getting all details as accurate as possible. I could really picture myself in the novel and envision all the scenery and what the characters looked like.
Excellent adult historical fiction.

I've always enjoyed learning about Native American life, but I hesitated at the start of this book, not thinking I would enjoy this long of a book on Native American historical fiction. I quickly learned how wrong I was. This book is fantasic. There is always something going on, not a boring telling of Native American life, but a constant adventure through the lives of various tribes and a brilliant development of special women and men of early American life. It gives an excellent telling of the hierarchy of the clans. I could not put this book down and so look forward to reading the two sequels.
definitely a ~*~must read~*~

She Who Remembers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is quite possibly the best book I've ever read. "Let the Drum Speak" and "Voice of the Eagle" (which were written by the same author) were very good also. But "She Who Remembers" is my favorite in this series. As a matter of fact, I liked it so well that I've read it numerous times while waiting for something new to come out by Linda Lay Shuler. The reader is transported to another time and place and we hear a wonderful, intricate, and compelling story about the people living in that time and place. The book has many elements including adventure, romance, deceit and female rivalry. Reviews of many other books state "this book was hard to put down" but that statement is an especially fitting description of "She Who Remembers". I liked it even better than Jean Auel's books which is really saying something!
very engaging

This is one of those books you just can't put down because you just gotta see what's going to happen next. By looking at her references in the back, I can tell Shuler did a lot of research for this book. Although many will say, that this book is not historically accurate. So who cares? We all need a little fantasy and imagination in our lives. What is the definition of fiction anyway? I would descibe this book as a mix of a historical novel that reads as a romance novel, a suspense novel, and even an erotic novel at times. This book is a must read. Actually, I just bought the second book today and plan on reading all three in the series.
Absolutely Wonderful Book

This book is mesmerising. I could not put it down. This first book in a trilogy will grab you and keep you begging for more. You'll want to get a hold of the next 2 in this series. "Voice of an Eagle" and "Let the Drum Speak".
