<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From one of the greatest novelists of the American West comes a surprising and riveting story set in Montana and in New York during the Harlem Renaissance--drawing on the characters from Doig's most popular work.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Prairie Nocturne</i> is the epic saga of two former lovers sired in the pages of Ivan Doig's acclaimed Montana Trilogy. Susan Duff -- the bossy, indomitable schoolgirl with a silver voice from <i>Dancing at the Rascal Fair--</i> has reached middle age alone, teaching voice lessons to the progeny of Helena's high society. Wesley Williamson, young married heir to the Double W cattle empire, has been forced out of a political career as a result of his affair with Susan having become known. Years later, Wes and Susan have reunited to share in an extraordinary goal: launching the singing career of Monty Rathbun--a man on the wrong side of the racial divide. In this triumph of sure-footed storytelling, motives and fates dangerously entangle. <br> Set in Montana, France, Scotland, and New York during the Harlem Renaissance, <i>Prairie Nocturne</i> is a deeply longitudinal novel that raises everlasting questions of allegiance, the grip of the past, and the cost of passion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Ivan Doig has staked a claim as one of Montana's essential literary witnesses. <br> --Grace Lichtenstein, <i>The Washington Post</i><br><br>Ivan Doig never disappoints those who love good writing, and <i>Prairie Nocturne</i> is Doig at his best. <br> --Tony Hillerman, author of <i>The Wailing Wind</i> and <i>The Sinister Pig</i><br><br>One of [Doig's] most ambitious projects yet with its complexity of social and cultural issues nestled in the deceptive serenity of the American West. <br> --Jennie A.
