Ivan Doig
Dancing at the Rascal Fair by National Book Award nominee Ivan Doig, captures the passion and tenacity of turn-of-the-century immigrants struggling to build new lives amidst Montana’s windswept Rockies. The tale unfolds into a contest of the heart between Anna Ramsay and Angus McCaskill—kept apart by obligations—as they and their stormy kin vie to tame the brutal land.

But the story doesn't deliver. Too much of the tale is told from inside Angus's head - his feelings, his memories, snippets of remembered poems and songs. By the second half of the novel we are even treated to Angus's remembered dialogue from the first half of the novel (really). Eventually much needed tension is introduced to the story when Anna (Angus's fiancé) tells him she has been horsing around with Isaac the horse trader, and that they will soon be hitched. But now Angus mopes and yearns for Anna the rest of the novel. And the reader is treated to even more of Angus's remembered dialogue with Anna from earlier parts of the story (yawn). Since he can't have Anna, Angus marries Adair (Rob's little sister who has since immigrated to Montana). As Adair is painfully aware, she is not Angus's first choice. Don't feel bad for her though, she has the annoying habit of referring to herself in the third person.
Ironically, the story ends with another drowning horse, this time taking Rob down with it. Don't feel bad for Rob though, by the end of the novel he has turned into a complete ass. The horse seemed decent enough.
Shout out to to some memorable characters: Ninian Duff (not affiliated with Duff Beer), Lucas, the hands-off bartender, and Toussaint, the half breed bar hand.
I'm partial to historical fiction, and I enjoyed the parts having to do with Scottish immigration to the US, sheep farming, the advent of the US Park Service, and the impact WW1 had on US soldiers and their families.
Overall though, this was a very unsatisfying story, but well told, if that makes sense.
Very well written. Very frustrating story.
