Today
we have three terrific book recommendations from our Library Director,
John Finn. These novels are all set in Montana and written by authors
currently living in Montana or who have lived here in the past.
Thanks John!
I liked this book's Ivan Doig-like story of a small-town
Montana high school basketball team's travails and losses. The story
takes place in Willow Creek, MT. Home to the Willow Creek Saloon. A two-seat bicycle plays a role in the story. A two-seat bicycle sits outside of the Willow Creek Saloon today!

I
appreciated this book's use of the Boulder Development Center as a
central location for the action that takes place in the story. The story
centers on a devoted and forward-thinking
psychiatrist trying out new ideas, thinking of ways to get patients
safely out of the Development Center. He is in a sticky marriage that
unravels due to his devotion to work and one particular patient. It is a
heavy, adult book, which I found refreshing. Also, a character works
for the Lewis & Clark Library! Virginia has a great imagination and a
wonderful way with language and a skill for storytelling.
