- Synopsis
- The Kaiser's march on Belgium seemed far away. For here, high in the rugged mountains of New Mexico, wonder was all about them and the world was for the taking, which they did with great zest. Deer hunting, camping, riding--the Bohannon boys went everywhere together. This is a poignant novel of two brothers in the most sublime days of their youth, a novel that shines with affection, spirit, and compassion. Separated by conflicting temperaments and two years of age, Jeff and Chad share an intense and unusual bond of loyalty and love as they grow up on their father's small cattle ranch. Theirs is a hard way of life, filled with rugged duties, dangers, and devotion to their strict parents. Yet it is a life of happiness. Together Jeff and Chad had learned how to rope cattle and shoot deer. The younger Jeff never forgot the time he had to rescue Chad from the mountains, or the time the two of them went out after the great white buck Chad knew he'd seen. But suddenly the war comes very close and Jeff now realizes that Chad will one day go beyond their hill, into the wide world so different from their little one. Vaguely the two brothers sense that they will never again share experiences such as these, as they reach, first eagerly, then reluctantly towards manhood--and the end of their little world apart. Written by one of the most distinguished authors of the American Southwest, Little World Apart is a book filled with the enthusiasm of youth, the glow of the great outdoors, and the spirit of the bold people who made the Southwest what it is today.
