Summary:
In this prize-winning portrait of a time and placeMontana in the 1930sthat at once inspires and fulfills a longing for an explicable past, Ivan Doig has created one of the most captivating families in American fiction, the McCaskills.
The witty and haunting narration, a masterpiece of vernacular in the tradition of Twain, follows the events of the Two Medicine country's summer: the tide of sheep moving into the high country, the capering Fourth of July rodeo and community dance, and an end-of-August forest fire high in the Rockies that brings the book, as well as the McCaskill family's struggle within itself, to a stunning climax. It is a season of escapade as well as drama, during which fourteen-year-old Jick comes of age. Through his eyes we see those nearest and dearest to him at a turning pointwhere all four of our lives made their bendand discover along with him his own connection to the land, to history, and to the deep-fathomed mysteries of ones kin and ones self.
Sheer magic simply a national treasure.USA Today
