Critics Review
“A vital exploration of the long history of abuse against women, the land, and the weight of inheritance, told in gripping prose. Bolstad’s Windfall comes at a crucial time when our country is at a reckoning with its own dark history of conquest and extraction.” – Taylor Brorby, author of Boys and Oil: Growing Up Gay in a Fractured Land
“With Windfall, Erika Bolstad offers a keen awareness of a common bind: our deep desire to protect the last natural resources while sustaining our precarious domestic lives. With meticulously researched and clear, ringing prose, she takes us on a journey of consternation, curiosity, and, finally, reconciliation with her family’s past and her own tender future.” – Debra Gwartney, author of I Am a Stranger Here Myself
