Which book for starters?

 

[JT88]

I've only read This House of Sky so far, good stuff

 

[BackofBeyond]

I’d start with English Creek then go from there. Can’t go wrong with some of the early non-fiction stuff either.


I need to dust a few off the shelf and re-read again.

Any of them. The English Creek trilogy is excellent.

Dancing at the Rascal Fair and Ride with me Mariah Montana were two of my favorites. Bucking the Sun is excellent as well.

Ride with me Mariah Montana

Really? I think it’s my least favorite of his.

The Trilogy is a great read of a longer historical novel and really good. Bucking the Sun followed by The Bartender's Tale was an excellent couple of related novels for me, particularly since my grandparents homesteaded and had businesses during the Depression above the High Line and I grew up in Great Falls. Another good Doig novel related to Great Falls and WWII is the story of The Eleventh Man.

Dancing at the Rascal Fair. Then English Creek. Then House of Sky. I agree that Maria Montana wasn't as good as the earlier two.

How is The Whistling Season?

How is The Whistling Season?

It's good ... but not as good IMO. It took a couple of runs at it, but at the ending I was pleased to have read it.

It’s good. We (the entire family) are currently listening to it on our way to Wallowa Lake for a family camping trip.

Actually, couldn't get into any of them, as much as I thought I should...don't recall why, just flat for me YMMV.
