Book Overview

Now a Major Motion Picture from Focus Features, Starring Kevin Costner and Diane Lane

The celebrated author of Montana 1948 returns to the American West in this riveting tale of familial love and its unexpected consequences.

Dalton, North Dakota. It's September 1951: years since George and Margaret Blackledge lost their son when he was thrown from a horse; months since his widow left with their only grandson and married another man. Margaret is resolved to find and retrieve her beloved grandson, while George, a retired sheriff, is none too eager to stir up trouble.

Unable to sway his wife from her mission, George takes to the road with Margaret by his side, traveling through the Badlands to Montana. But when Margaret tries to bring little Jimmy home, the Blackledges find themselves entangled with the Weboy clan, who are determined not to give up the boy without a fight.

Pitch-perfect, gutsy, unwavering, and "both restrained and exquisite" (Chicago Tribune), Larry Watson is at his storytelling finest in this unforgettable return to the American West.

Montana and the 50s - I'm in!

His characters are exquisite. As are his location descriptions. I gravitate to anything Montana (having lived there briefly in the 90s) as well as the 50s 60s time frames. This is quality of both. Having viewed the trailers for the upcoming movie, I clearly visualized Costner and Lane in the main character roles and believe the casting to be spot on. I'll see the movie though it appears to have a few differences from this excellent quick novel - such as they live in MT and go to Dakota for Jamie and I think the heartbreaking book ending may differ in the film. I will read many more of his novels and cannot believe I just found this writer but it was because of a trailer while watching Yellowstone that I discovered Watson.
