Historia
The final novel from a great American storyteller. Donal Cameron is being raised by his grandmother, the cook at the legendary Double W ranch in Ivan Doig's beloved Two Medicine Country of the Montana Rockies, a landscape that gives full rein to an 11-year-old's imagination. But when Gram has to have surgery for "female trouble" in the summer of 1951, all she can think to do is to ship Donal off to her sister in faraway Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Historia
In the winter of 1920, a quirky bequest draws Morrie Morgan back to Butte, Montana, from a year-long honeymoon with his bride, Grace. But the mansion bestowed by a former boss upon the itinerant charmer, debuted in Doig’s best-selling book The Whistling Season, promises to be less a windfall than a money pit. And the town itself, with its polyglot army of miners struggling to extricate themselves from the stranglehold of the ruthless Anaconda Copper Mining Company, seems - like the couple’s fast-diminishing finances—on the verge of implosion.

The Bartender' s Tale stars Tom Harry and his 12-year-old son, Rusty, who live alone and run a bar in a small Montana town in the early 1960s. Their lives are upended when Proxy, a woman from Tom's past, and her beatnik daughter, Francine, breeze into town. Is Francine, as Proxy claims, the unsuspected legacy of her and Tom’s past? Without a doubt she is an unsettling gust of the future, upending every certainty in Rusty’s life and generating a mist of passion and pretense that seems to obscure everyone’s vision but his own.

After Culloden, Iain MacGillivray was left for dead on Drumossie Moor. Wounded, his face brutally slashed, he survived only by pretending to be dead as the Redcoats patrolled the corpses of his Jacobite comrades. Six years later, with the clan chiefs routed and the Highlands subsumed into the British state, Iain lives a quiet life, working as a bookseller in Inverness. One day, after helping several of his regular customers, he notices a stranger lurking in the upper gallery of his shop, poring over his collection. But the man refuses to say what he's searching for.

Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place: a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

A 'Blessing' Indeed!

Entertaining, but rather juvenile
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
I have in the past liked books that are just stories about a town, village or group of interesting people such as Guernsey potato peel pie society. But so far half way through this book its just stories about kids and their shenanigans or lack there-of. The Father, the house-keeper and the teacher are all decent characters but nothing has grabbed me yet to make me become invested in their lives.
3 stars so far...

What made the experience of listening to The Whistling Season the most enjoyable?
Doig is a great story-teller. I found myself seeking escape from the cynical, often depressing stories in the daily news by diving into this book. It describes a time in the early 20th century, in Montana, when life, if not easy, was simpler. The pace is slow, but the dry western wit that pervades the writing kept it from being boring. At first I found the narrator's hard, nasal voice hard to take, but it grew on me, and finally seemed completely appropriate for this story.Any additional comments?
I look forward to reading other books by Doig. I am reading the Rascal Fair now and loving it.I was captivated

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I cannot wait to recommend this book first to my dad who grew up on a wheat farm in Eastern Oregon and second to my book club. I loved the story, the characters (Morrie was my favorite) and my highest praise goes to the narrator, Jonathan Hogan. He was a delight to listen to and the folksy charm in his voice was the perfect match for this story. He reminds me of the man who used to narrate the Wonderful World of Disney shows on Sunday night.What did you like best about this story?
I thought it was beautifully written - I felt completely transported to that time and place. I loved the sweet relationship between the brothers.Which scene was your favorite?
Hard to decide but I loved the wrong-end-to horse race.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Several times I teared up while listening. Particularly during the scene when Paul goes out to the pump at the school house and reflects on all the horse paths which lead to the school.Loved this book!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Whistling Season to be better than the print version?
I liked it better than the print version because Jonathan Hogan read it so beautifully.What did you like best about this story?
I liked the story from a young boy's perspective.What about Jonathan Hogan’s performance did you like?
Jonathan Hogan read with ease. He was always on target with the punctuation - did not over or under emphasize. I was able to forget the reader and concentrate freely on what he was reading.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book made me laugh and cry both.Totally engrossed
