“I gave this to my mother-in-law for Christmas last year because she is a Montana native and I thought she might appreciate this. After reading it, she loaned it to me so I could read it. It took me a few chapters to really get into the story, but once I did I was thoroughly engrossed. The book does move between the past and the present as the narrator reflects back on one particular year of his life-- his sort of "coming of age" story. There's also a little mystery woven into the storyline to keep things moving forward. As I got to end I was hoping the story would just keep going, but I thought it wrapped up nicely. I am curious to read some more of Doig's work after reading this book. ”
