Stone Feather: An Apache Woman's Tale by Katharina Reschner is the story of Stone Feather, a woman who was banished ten years ago after the Power called her and she did as she was told. After the loss of her husband and her child, she is back with Tin-ne-ah and the People. However, things have changed a lot and the people have changed as well. But more than that, she is not the same Stone Feather; she has found love twice, gave birth to two children, and now tries to find out why the Power never spoke to her again. Where did she go wrong? What did she do?
I have always been very interested in the Apache people, their traditions, their cultures and their day to day life. Stone Feather: An Apache Woman's Tale by Katharina Reschner touches on all of these themes and does them justice. The author does not hold back on providing information, but she does it with a gentle hand. She never lets it become information overload and she never makes it too difficult to understand. Reschner brings in new concepts, let the reader adjust to them and then lets it fly. Instead of being confused, I was invested in the story from the moment I read the synopsis.
The narrative is very dramatic and you can almost feel the author’s presence in it. Stone Feather is a very strong woman who lets her heart and her soul guide her. Her beliefs are strong so she remains strong. Even after all the hardships that she had to face, she didn’t let them break her down, but actually survived with her head held high and a new scar she was proud to show. She is definitely a character that is worth remembering and revisiting again and again. A powerful narrative that demands reader attention.
