The Whistling Season
Christian Century, Dec 12, 2006
The Whistling Season. By Ivan Doig. Harcourt, 352 pp., $25.00.
Doig has been writing about western life for 30 years, and he's known for his memoir This House of Sky. In The Whistling Season, Doig follows the life of a rural Montana family in the early 1900s. When the mother dies, the father crafts an ad for a housekeeper. Rose, answering the ad, arrives from the East with her brother Morrie, an engaging and eloquent teacher, and brings along their family secrets. The larger story is of the author's love for western landscapes, of family and community bonds, of colorful personalities and of humor found during the most difficult of times.
