Dancing at the Rascal Fair: Montana trilogy #2 of 3 [B0639]

1996 PB in nice clean condition. The central volume in Ivan Doig's acclaimed Montana trilogy, Dancing at the Rascal Fair is an authentic saga of the American experience at the turn of this century and a passionate, portrayal of the immigrants who dared to try new lives in the imposing Rocky Mountains. Ivan Doig's supple tale of landseekers unfolds into a fateful contest of the heart between Anna Ramsay and Angus McCaskill, walled apart by their obligations as they and their stormy kith and kin vie to tame the brutal, beautiful Two Medicine country.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Beyond being a marvelous epic story of the lives of Scottish immigrants who sought and attained a dream of homesteading in Montana, it educates and tells a beautiful and stark account of homesteading in a harsh land, sheep ranching, immigrants making a community, and the impacts of the USFS, WW1 and the Spanish flu. All this with rich characters and astounding writing."; "Absolutely gorgeous prose, characters I was invested in, and so meaningful to read while living in Montana. I cried and laughed with this one."; "I can honestly say that after reading this, my fourth book of Doig's, that each one is an incredible tale. He writes with such expression that I'm drawn to the scenes and feel the excitement and anguish. At this rate, I'll be reading more!"
