{"product_id":"english-creek","title":"English Creek","description":"In this prize-winning portrait of a time and place--Montana in the 1930s--that at once inspires and fulfills a longing for an explicable past, Ivan Doig has created one of the most captivating families in American fiction, the McCaskills.The witty and haunting narration, a masterpiece of vernacular in the tradition of Twain, follows the events of the Two Medicine country's summer: the tide of sheep moving into the high country, the capering Fourth of July rodeo and community dance, and an end-of-August forest fire high in the Rockies that brings the book, as well as the McCaskill family's struggle within itself, to a stunning climax. It is a season of escapade as well as drama, during which fourteen-year-old Jick comes of age. Through his eyes we see those nearest and dearest to him at a turning point--\"where all four of our lives made their bend\"--and discover along with him his own connection to the land, to history, and to the deep-fathomed mysteries of one's kin and one's self.","brand":"Scribner Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48841091580109,"sku":"9780743271271","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_b5656d7e-b5fb-4c53-b1bb-2ae824c499d0.jpg?v=1792002968","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/english-creek","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
