Pro Reviews: What You See in Clear Water
O'Gara is a lyrical writer when sketching pictures of the land. He is fair and evenhanded in trying to explain a complex issue freighted with emotion. He lets his characters have their say, revealing the racism of some white ranchers, and the desperation that hangs like low fog in so many reservations. But this story is not well told. It goes back and forth in time, making the narrative difficult. O'Gara jumps between too many characters, never going deep enough with the main people in the story. In the end, the Indians are left with nothing but a certain moral high ground, and, as they say in the West, you can't eat the scenery.
Publisher Notes: What You See in Clear Water
- The beauty and grandeur of the American West, and the conflicts that wrack it, are brought vividly to life in this absorbing account of an epic legal struggle that made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Geoffrey O'Gara tells of the ongoing battle over water rights between impoverished Shoshone and Arapaho tribes living on the Wind River Reservation and struggling farmers who want to divert the river to irrigate their lands. O'Gara's empathetic portrait of life on an Indian reservation today, his historical portrait of the land and its inhabitants, and his even-handedness make What You See in Clear Water an unusually rich and rewarding book.
