Customer comments on this selection.
 Life of homesteaders in wilderness of Northern Montana
Very well written book. Gave the reader a feel for the hardships, joys, and life of an immigrant. Beautifully describes the Montana scenery.
Book easily held the interest of the reader. In fact I had a hard time putting the book down. I would highly recommend this book to any age person who has a nominal interest in the life of our forefathers. Reading it, I could just feel the excitement and the beauty as well as the pain of life in the 1890's.
Totally satisfying!
One reader compared Doig to Larry McMurtry...hmmm, maybe, but I think not. Dancing at the Rascal Fair is my first Doig novel, but not my last. I will be reading his other work, for sure. D at the RF is so well written, I am bonded to these fictional characters as if they were real. Am thinking of them, long after I've finished the last page. If you enjoy reading about land, early settlers, hardships and love - you'll enjoy this one.
Love Doig's writing!
I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy! It brought me back to the places I was familiar with when I lived in Montana.
This is the first Doig book I read. Wonderful
What a beautiful book, yet tragic. As usual the writing is simply wonderful. If you love literature, this is a must. The story chronicles the migration of a couple of Scottish families to Montana and the trials and tribulations that they experience. The book is masterful. A must read.
fantastic
a fantastic family saga of life on the montana prairie back in the day. everything one could want in a historical novel: realistic, interesting characters, a strong sense of narrative, and a grand presentation of a place in time. this is the 1st book i have read by this author, i now greatly anticipate reading more of his work. my highest recommendations.
