Description
The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig is a poignant portrayal of life in the American West during the early twentieth century. In 1909, an ad for an "A-1 housekeeper" with sound morals and exceptional disposition catches the eye of widower Oliver Milliron, setting off a chain of events that will change his life forever. As the seasons pass, Oliver's household is enriched by the presence of Rose Llewellyn and her brother Morris Morgan, who bring their unique brand of wisdom and wit to the community. The arrival of these eccentric individuals sets in motion a series of unexpected lessons, both formal and informal, that will shape the lives of those around them. This evocative novel is a tribute to a bygone era, one that has long since vanished, but whose spirit remains alive in the stories of its characters.
