4.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful book. Nice work of historical fiction.
Some Native American nations thought dreams were significant--sacred even. This is a beautiful take on dreams, with the historical Mohawk interpreter as a central character. I enjoyed it immensely. Nice cover too.

Interesting introduction to dreaming
This book gave interesting insights into the role of dreaming among some Native American peoples at the time of the birth of our country. Interesting description of the plight of the Schoharie German immigrants. What is lacking is deep character development, and Moss could have done so much more with the conflicts inherent in those turbulent times. However, anyone...

This review is from: The Interpreter (Paperback)
This is fine historical fiction: well-written, exciting, and carefully researched. It pulled me right into the stream of events, and left me seeking out history books to learn more. This is one of those books that you just don't want to end. Moss blends the very complex subject into a cohesive, fascinating narrative. Conrad Weiser's story vividly expresses the sacrifice, challenges, and richness of the life of an "interpreter" who bridges different worlds.

Interesting introduction to dreaming,
By MrSofty (St. Louis, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Interpreter: A Story of Two Worlds (Hardcover)
This book gave interesting insights into the role of dreaming among some Native American peoples at the time of the birth of our country. Interesting description of the plight of the Schoharie German immigrants. What is lacking is deep character development, and Moss could have done so much more with the conflicts inherent in those turbulent times. However, anyone interested in this period of our history will find the book enjoyable. And the discussion of how to use dreaming has inspired me to read Moss's other books on this topic.
