While there was nothing earth shatteringly exciting about this story, Ivan's typically rich characters and vivid descriptions of the setting were quite enough to carry it. By the time I closed the back cover, I felt like I had visited Montana in the early 1900's. And, kind of surprisingly, really enjoyed this slice of several fascinating lives. If you're a teacher, you'll particularly love this story.
