'Marchlands is hard-carved, cloud-kissed, lightning-struck. This is a full-voiced, poignant, wonderful novel.' GRETEL EHRLICH, AUTHOR OF A Match to the Heart 'With her quick temper and uninhibited sexual curiousity, her feel for the land and her fund of ranching lore, Karla Kuban's Sophie Baer is an unforgettable creation.' JM COETZEE, AUTHOR OF Life and Times of Michael K 'Marchlands is more than a fine first novel. It's as wise, tough, tender, and terrific a coming-of-age yarn as one could wish for.' JOHN BARTH MARCHLANDS is the story of Sophie, a girl of sixteen living on a sheep ranch in Wyoming who is pregnant to one of the family's hired farmhands. The novel is set during the Vietnam War, which is responsible for the absence of Sophie's brother, Clements. Sophie's father is also absent, although voluntarily so.

Without any real friends to call her own, Sophie finds comfort and friendship with her horse, Pablo. As her pregnancy becomes apparent her relationship with her mother disintegrates and Sophie begins her search for her father and the facts about her life that might make sense of what her family has become.
