The final novel from beloved Western writer Doig, who died in 2015, is a lighthearted, picaresque tale following 11-year-old orphan Donal Cameron, who flees his tightly wound aunt and hops a Greyhound back to the freedom of his grandmother's Montana ranch. His henpecked uncle, Herman the German, takes off with him, and the two sweep across the country in this classic American story. Set in the big-sky landscape, it's part road book, part buddy book, and part bildungsroman. Narrator David Aaron Baker's rough and wry narration brings wit and humor to the lovable characters and rollicking yarn. This book is a worthy ultimate offering from an author who pleased so many during his four decades in print.
VERDICT This is essential listening for devotees of Doig's work; no Western fan will be disappointed. ["Doig's superb storytelling does not disappoint. The dialog is snappy, funny, and true to the charming characters": LJ 7/15 starred review of the Riverhead hc.]
