Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Bucking the Sun is the story of the Duff family, homesteaders driven from the Montana bottomland to work on one of the New Deal's most audacious projects — the damming of the Missouri River. Through the story of each family member — a wrathful father, a mettlesome mother, and three very different sons and the memorable women they marry, Doig conveys a sense of time and place that is at once epic in scope and rich in detail. Review:John HarveySan Francisco ChronicleDoig has achieved his most adroit blend of fact and fancy in what is perhaps his best book since This House of Sky. What sets Doig apart from others who have farmed the same terrain is the deft way he handles the fruits of his research; fact and anecdote are woven into the text with a light and often humorous touch. Review:Chicago Sun-TimesDoig now has to be considered the premier writer of the American West. Review:Chicago Sun-Times Doig now has to be considered the premier writer of the American West.
