Bucking the Sun

by Ivan Doig

Bucking the Sun Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher 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.

Synopsis:

The "most ambitious work to date" ("The Seattle Times") by the author of "Dancing at the Rascal Fair" and "English Creek", "Bucking the Sun" tells 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.
