Just finished this one - Ivan Doig is my new fave author. This story begins in Scotland in 1889 - and ends in Montana in the 1920s. The story is full of twists and turns and lots of historical events. The picture it paints of a friendship gone bad is tragic indeed. The scope is far-reaching, but the story is small and intimate. Some have compared Ivan Doig to Wallace Stegner and William Faulkner. The comparisons are somewhat apt.
But I'm a little frustrated. This title is actually number two in his Montana Trilogy - number one is English Creek. I made a resolution this year to not buy any more books. Only Kindle and the library.
Number one is not on Kindle. Not on iBooks. Not at the used book store. Not at the library.
I will solve the problem - never fear!!
