THE WHISTLING SEASON
by Ivan Doig
The picture of hardships on a “dry” farm in 1909 Montana is
clearly shown in this delightful story of motherless family trying to survive
and the brother/sister couple who answer their ad for a housekeeper.
Homesteading, social life, family life, shenanigans, love,
one room schools and the teachers who make them, and secrets, especially secrets, combine to make this a delightful,
well-written tale that encompasses humor, fear, sacrifice and boyhood.
