Book Club: "English Creek" By Ivan Doig
Tuesday, September 17, 2024 - 7:15pm
Join us on the third Tuesday of every month in the Armstrong Room for the St. Helens Public Library Book Club! (or online at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82117410118?pwd=T1o4VnRIZVFkVFZ3VjFuS1B0cXNWQT09)
This month's book is English Creek by Ivan Doig.
“In this prize-winning portrait of a time and place, Montana in the 1930s, Ivan Doig has created one of the most captivating families in American fiction, the McCaskills.
English Creek 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.”
