5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful , humorous look at a disintegrating family,
By Bruce Robinson (toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Cowboy (Paperback)
I approached this novel not knowing the author or anything aboutthis work. What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be. The novel is about the disintegration of a Saskatchewan family, descendents of a farm family, trying to cope with life in the modern age. The author uses several simultaneous stories to tell this and it all comes together wonderfully in the end. But it isn't until the very end that you understand how he will do this. The story is fascinating, told with humour and great warmth and having never been to Saskatchewan or read anything about it, I found the details on this province to be fascinating. If the idea of a western novel turns you off don't worry, this isn't really about cowobys, although there is an ironic take on the Hollywood theme. But if you want to read a wonderful novel about modern families and life today this is the perfect book. I look forward to reading more works by this very gifted writer. The prose was clear and very strong throughout the book. A great read.
