Ivan Doig
National Book Award finalist Ivan Doig writes about Big Sky country with raw authenticity. Set during the 1920s, Prairie Nocturne finds Susan Duff, the young songbird from Doig’s Dancing at the Rascal Fair, now a middle-aged singing coach living in Helena. When her old flame, Wes Williamson, asks her to mentor his black chauffeur, Monty, she agrees. But racial tensions erupt when Susan’s private lessons with Monty attract the attention of the KKK.

I do love this author's work!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
with this. It was unnecessarily long
and watered down. The mixed race
romance theme is tired. Doig was reaching with the KKK stuff in Montana. The Scottish immigrant
theme goes only so far and the
author has repeated it so often that
there is no new way to cook it.
There used to be at least some
decent character development and
writing in his earlier work —little of
that in Prairie Nocturne. Too bad
Doig decided to cheapen it up.
Don’t waste your time.
Tiresome
