Let Him Go

A Novel

De: Larry Watson

Narrado por: Dan John Miller

The celebrated author of Montana 1948 returns to the American West in this riveting tale of familial love and its unexpected consequences.

Dalton, North Dakota. It’s September 1951: years since George and Margaret Blackledge lost their son James when he was thrown from a horse; months since his widow Lorna took off with their only grandson and married Donnie Weboy. Margaret is steadfast, resolved to find and retrieve her grandson Jimmy - the one person in this world keeping James’s memory alive - while George, a retired sheriff, is none too eager to stir up trouble. Unable to sway his wife from her mission, George takes to the road with Margaret by his side, traveling through the Dakota badlands to Gladstone, Montana. When Margaret tries to convince Lorna to return home to North Dakota and bring little Jimmy with her, the Blackledges find themselves entangled with the entire Weboy clan, who are determined not to give up the boy without a fight. From the author who brought us Montana 1948, Let Him Go is pitch-perfect, gutsy, and unwavering. Larry Watson is at his storytelling finest in this unforgettable return to the American West.

Great Book

Fantastic writing gripping story!!

Loved the pacing, deep main characters. The foreboding tenor, and great setting in North Dakota and Montana. Gripping descriptions of life in the hard country. Fascinating how the melancholy and sadness of the main characters keep them moving the story forward in their attempt to heal the devastating loss of the past with one hope for the future . Some creepy antagonists get in the way change everything, but some twists lead to a great ending! I look forward to reading more from this author!

Great book; however, not a feel good read. It is a bit melancholy. It is a book both men and women should enjoy.

good read

was a bit hard to get into at first but I usually listen to romance. however turned into a great book and going to see the movie tonight.

Final call

really intense, sad for Jimmy, family violence that truly happens, grandfather's decision to take matters into his own hands given his background definitely high point before the fire

Great read. This was suspenseful and good.

I loved this story. it was a very suspenseful love story, it was well written.

Movie!!

This movie was slow going with little dialogue. The acting was genuinely believable. The story is true to life and riveting to watch. The ending was satisfying and justified. I got the book so I could see what was missing from the movie.
