Review:
"[T]he sheer joy of word choices, phrases, sentences, situations, and character bubbling up and out, [is] as fecund and nurturing as the dryland farmscape the story inhabits is sere and arid. THE WHISTLING SEASON is a book to pass on to your favorite readers."
Rick Bass, Publishers Weekly, 03/20/2006

Book Description: HARVEST BOOKS, United States, 2007. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 202 x 135 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Novelist Ivan Doig revisits the American west in the early twentieth century, bringing to life the eccentric individuals and idiosyncratic institutions that made it thrive. "Can't cook but doesn't bite." So begins the newspaper ad offering the services of an "A-1 housekeeper, sound morals, exceptional disposition" that draws the attention of widower Oliver Milliron in the fall of 1909. That unforgettable season deposits the ever-whistling Rose Llewellyn and her font-of-knowledge brother, Morris Morgan, in Marias Coulee along with a stampede of homesteaders drawn by the promise of the Big Ditch--a gargantuan irrigation project intended to make the Montana prairie bloom. When the schoolmarm runs off with an itinerant preacher, Morris is pressed into service, setting the stage for the "several kinds of education"--none of them of the textbook variety--Morris and Rose will bring to Oliver, his three sons, and the rambunctious students in the region's one-room schoolhouse. A paean to a way of life that has long since vanished, "The Whistling Season" is Ivan Doig at his evocative best.
