Synopsis

This tale of lost innocence and adulthood gained has its roots in the events of summer, 1948. It is at that time in Montana, childhood home of David Hayden, that the memories of those closest to the then 12-year-old David are revealed, showing him that truth is not what he had believed it to be.

About this title

Review:

Chris FaatzThe NationMy favorite novel of 1993.... Utterly mesmerizing.... There's something eminently universal in Watson's ponderings on the human condition, and it's refracted through a nearly perfect eye for character, place and the rhythms of language. Fiction at its finest is sometimes hard to find; "Montana 1948" amply fits the bill.

The style of "Montana 1948" is as thin, clear and crisp as a North Dakota Wind. Susan PetroSan Francisco Chronicle"Montana 1948" stands out as a work of art...
