by Ivan Doig and am all excited about it. The Milliron family (father & 3 sons) live in rural Montana and are in need of a housekeeper, whom they acquire. The story is elegantly told and the characters are shapely and robust. Two and a half of the characters are linguistically adroit and delightful to spend time with. I loved this book. I want to go live there with them.
If you enjoyed Peace Like a River, you will enjoy this one (and fewer people die in this one). Speaking of

I look forward to reading this book. We are flying to Seattle the last week of July and this will be my airplane reading. Thanks for the recommendation.
I also enjoy your blog.
I heard Doig speak at a book festival and he is so interesting. I bought his book "English Creek" and absolutely loved it. I have "Whistling Season" and three other books of his on the shelves begging for my attention. I'm glad you enjoyed him.
Framed - so good to hear that you loved English Creek as it is on my "to read" list.
I don't understand how I can manage to miss so many good authors for so long! Just finished Whistling and it was a real find.
Isn't it fun to find new ones Peregus? I went a long time with not-enough books to read and then found some bloggers with good recommendations. Now my 'to read' list has 100+ titles on it! I also post reviews at The Book Nook Club and find many good recommendations there from the other members.
