Anya Seton's Foxfire makes the desert Southwest of the Great Depression come alive in all its rich strangeness and passion-filled glory.

Amanda Lawrence, a charming, sheltered New York socialite, falls in love with Jonathan Dartland, a part-Apache mining engineer who belongs to the vastness of the Arizona desert. Amanda responds to his strength and self-reliance, but has nothing and nobody to guide her when she follows him to the grim town of Lodestone.

As usual, Anya Seton's well researched historical fiction shines through with this story of educated people in a mining town building a life together among the hardships of greed, prejudice and poverty.

A good narrator held my interest through this slow starting story. I enjoyed especially the writer's insights into the Apache's beliefs and customs. at the end, I wanted a continuation.

This book had everything you could want. Romance, adventure, history, and understanding of races. All the twists and turns made sense, and the outcome was believable. 

Such truth in story telling

The story is only mildly interesting, and ungodly slow. The characters are little more than charicatures (which is to give them too much credit, frankly) and there is less chemistry in the insta-love of the main characters than in the very worst Harlequin.

It's probably a decent example of the sort of 'literature' that was popular and considered high-brow 70-80 years ago but it just hasn't held up well over time. Readers trnd to expect more from plot and character development today. And that's entirely aside from the racist/sexist issues which, while no doubt an accurate reflection of the time, will no doubt cause many modern readers who cannot process or accept the realities of the past to burst into spontaneous flame.

Overall this is a weak effort that reads like the work of a spoiled, wealthy socialite who likely felt good about (and was indulged by publishers for) her "research" into the noble Apache and her clumsy commentary on...marriage? The West? Wealth? Earnest prostitutes?

The narrator is good, though mispronounces (or just misreads) numerous things across the course of the book, but she was probably was so mind-numbed that it is somewhat forgiveable.

That said, I cannot imagine who would enjoy this today.

Doesn't stand up well
