I picked this book up thinking it would be an interesting insight into the life of the wife of a previous Vice President. I forced myself to read the entire book which is not so much biography as it is genealogy for both Lynne Cheney and Dick Cheney. I feel like all of the meat and potatos and what she actually thought or felt about anything were left out. I still don't feel that I have any better sense of who either of these people are or were than when I first picked up the book. I can't recommend this to anyone. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In Blue Skies, No Fences: A Memoir of Childhood and Family, Lynne Cheney re-creates the years after World War II in a small town on the high plains of the West. Portraying an era that started with the Ink Spots on the Zenith Radio in her family's living room and ended with Elvis on the jukebox at the local canteen, she tells of coming of age in a time when the country seemed in control of its destiny and individual Americans in charge of theirs. She describes Casper, Wyoming, where she met a young man named Dick Cheney, and remembers her hometown as a place where the future seemed as bright as the blue sky and life's possibilities as boundless as the prairie. It was also a place where a pioneer heritage prevailed, and Cheney traces the paths of forebears who journeyed westward, strengthened against adversity by a bedrock belief that they would find a better life. An uplifting exploration of a special time and place in American history, Blue Skies, No Fences is also a heartfelt tribute to those optimistic souls who, in Lynne Cheney's words, "pinned their hopes on America and kept heading west."
