このコンテンツについて

For readers of Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove, Elizabeth Gilberts The Signature of All Things, and Hope Jahren’s Lab Girl, Diane Smith’s warmhearted and award-winning epistolary novel about a spunky young woman who joins a makeshift field study in Yellowstone National Park at the end of the nineteenth century

“I loved this book in a way that I haven’t loved a book in some time.” —James Welch, author of Fools Crow

In the spring of 1898, A. E. (Alexandria) Bartram—a spirited young woman with a love for botany—is invited to join a field study in Yellowstone National Park. The study’s leader, a mild-mannered professor from Montana, assumes she is a man, and is less than pleased to discover the truth. Once the scientists overcome the shock of having a woman on their team, they forge ahead on a summer of adventure, forming an enlightening web of relationships as they move from Mammoth Hot Springs to a camp high in the backcountry. But as they make their way collecting amid Yellowstone’s beauty, the group is splintered by differing views on science, nature, and economics.

Brimming with humor, excitement, and the romance of the Yellowstone landscape, Letters from Yellowstone is a love letter to the joys of scientific discovery and America’s majestic natural beauty, as well as a thoughtful reflection on environmentalism, Native American displacement, and feminism at the dawn of a new century.

There’s surprising grit in this portrait of Yellowstone, and real charm in this quietly original debut.” —Elle

"Serenely attentive, deliberately paced, as careful with psychology and history as it is with its botany, Smith's epistolary narrative makes a worthy addition to the expanding category of history-of-science novels." —Publishers Weekly

“A beautifully written and highly original first novel. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a first book that pleased me more.” —Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of Lonesome Dove

Letters from Yellowstone has it all—great story, engaging characters, fascinating history, science in the making, and all the awesome beauty of Yellowstone Park. Diane Smith is a completely wonderful writer.” —James Welch, author of Winter in the Blood

“A beautifully written epistolary story . . . The author brings an authenticity to the controversies about scientific method and the environment as well as the expedition’s finds. . . . This debut novel is an intelligent story, a charmer with style.” —The Denver Post
