review 1: Stellar first novel for Malcom Brooks. Catherine Lemay is a young archeologist, hired by the Smithsonian to survey a Montana river canyon before a dam project gets the green light. Why she was hired and who helps her become tangled stories of WWII survivors, Indian politics, prehistoric relics and wild horses. Excellent sense of place and the struggle to reconcile progress at the expense of the past . . .highly recommend.
review 2: A full-size helping of western settings and characters. Brooks has a way with the landscape, some of which I am familiar with, so it felt to me like he knows and loves Big Sky Country. He gets it. I found the opening somewhat confusing, but I'm the type who allows an author to develop the story, so I found myself more satisfied as... more the pages flew by. I was impressed with this as a debut novel, and let me say: Thanks for not using a predictable ending. It's more satisfying this way. less
