Synopsis
Raised a Mormon in a small town in Utah, married to a stiflingly conventional adulterer, Verna Flake has gotten tired of pretending. So she heads for Los Angeles, where people have the freedom to find themselves over and over again. In this lyrical and keenly observant novel Judith Freeman captures the solitude, the dislocation, and the offbeat optimism of the American West in a way that raises comparison with writers like Louise Erdrich and Bobbie Ann Mason.

From the Back Cover
"Under the plain honesty and generosity of Judith Freeman's writing is a delicate and impressive artistic strength. I read The Chinchilla Farm right through as a fascinating story, but...it lingers in my mind as a true journey through the desert of the West and of the soul."
-- Ursula K. Le Guin"A beautiful, enigmatic novel that explores the nature of human connections." -- Los Angeles Times
"Elegant and unexpected...The Chinchilla Farm is literature at its best." -- Chicago Tribune
