A lost book so wonderful it is like finding buried treasure.
"On Sarpy Creek" is a deeply moving family saga about a small Montana farming community in the decade after World War I. Many readers consider it a small masterpiece, yet this book was "lost" for decades before being recently republished.
The simple, unadorned style and strong story make "On Sarpy Creek" a true page-turner about life and love.

"An intriguing story (that guarantees) hours of escape. The characters are well developed, interesting and fallible, and the ensemble makes for delightful reading." —Big Sky Journal
"Illuminating and compelling." —Missoulian
"An epic Montana saga." —Helena Independent Record

What a strange novel. I read this based on a recommendation from a friend who considered it a minor masterpiece. I did not find it so. Interesting way of presenting the story using language peculiar to a time and place. Character development less than compelling and the plot jumps from character to another. It is no surprise to me that the author only ever wrote this one novel.Product details

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me interested the whole way through. I got involved with the characters and couldn't wait to see how their lives would evolve. Very touching, sometimes sad, a good picture of life back-in-the-day.
