"Just Thelma" is author Roger Storkamp's tribute to his rural Minnesota roots. Set near the fictional town of Bovine, Minnesota, (which is based on the author's home town of Pierz, Minnesota), "Just Thelma" presents poignant portraits of three-dimensional characters. Central to the book is Thelma, though she is not particularly glorified by family members, Thelma provides much of the stability and consistency that enable her farm family to continue despite tragedy and death. Roger Storkamp writes true Minnesota dialect -- or perhaps his characters simply speak it of themselves. "Just Thelma" is a stark, beautiful, vivid landscape, peopled with humans who inhabit the field-vast spaces with the work of their backs, brains, and hands. Highly recommended and entertaining reading, "Just Thelma" is properly respectful and to be treasured in memory.
