National Book Award Finalist: A “beautifully written, deeply felt” memoir about growing up in the American West (Los Angeles Times).   Ivan Doig grew up in the rugged wilderness of western Montana among the sheepherders and denizens of small-town saloons and valley ranches. What he deciphers from his past with piercing clarity is not only a raw sense of land and how it shapes us, but also of the ties to our mothers and fathers, to those who love us, and our inextricable connection to those who shaped our values in our search for intimacy, independence, love, and family.   A powerfully told story, This House of Sky is uniquely American—yet also universal in its ability to awaken a longing for an explicable past.   “Engrossing and moving.”—Time

I read This House of Sky not long after it was heralded as an award winning book by a Montana author. Then I reread it several times. I loved the story--all true. I loved the time period, a Montana of my parents' young adulthood, depicting the hard life just post-Depression, post-WWII. But most of all, I loved the lyrical language of Doig's straightforward presentation of the story of his life.He tells how his father approached his disapproving mother-in-law to help raise six-year-old Ivan after Ivan's mother succumbed to her life-long struggle with asthma. This most odd of couples worked together on ranches with scarce food or water for the stock, fought the weather in terrible plains blizzards, thunderstorms and droughts, drove sheep, ran a restaurant, did anything they could do to keep a roof over their heads. Even if sometimes it was only canvas. The two antagonists worked as a team because Ivan needed them to be a team. They gritted their teeth and tolerated one another for so long, that at last they learned to cherish each other.When I bought This House of Sky for my Kindle, I was facing tough times, frightened by the family budget, terrified of losing our home. So I read it once again to remind myself I might lose my house, as Ivan's father did several times, but like him, I would never lose my home. Home is family. No matter what, family is all that ever really matters. Just roll up your sleeves and start over again. Good advice in any era, any run of hard times. Any family.This House of Sky is Doig's masterpiece. Though he has written several other good books of fiction, I doubt anything will ever match the drama and raw emotion of his own life. Read it. It will change you. KL
