Windsinger Author:Frances Gillmor As an authentic evocation of the Navajo world, "Windsinger" will fascinate readers interested in American Indian life. Its theme, the quest for divine truth, lends a further, universal appeal to this little-known novel, which reviewers compared favorably to Oliver La Farge's "Laughing Boy" when it was first published in 1930. — "A lovely, simple... more » handling of the Navajo material... Miss Gillmor presents with distinguished perception and emotional understanding the life of these people in their desert country of strange windy beauty. She has visited them with sympathy and reported accurately." -- The New York Post
