“Sibling rivalry turns sinister” in this “outstanding” historical fiction debut about a Montana ranching family in the early twentieth century (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Set in the vast and unforgiving prairie of eastern Montana from 1916 to 1946, In Open Spaces is the compelling story of the Arbuckle brothers:
George. A rising baseball star who mysteriously drowns in the river
Jack. A World War I veteran who abandons his family only to return to reclaim the family ranch
Bob. The youngest brother, whose marriage to Helen creates a fault line between him and the rest of his family
Blake. A shrewd, observant man burdened with growing suspicions of Jack's role in his brother's death
With breathtaking descriptions of the Montana landscape, Russell Rowland masterfully weaves a fascinating tale of the psychological wars that can rip a family apart . . . and, ultimately, the redemption that can bring them back together.
“Charged with dramatic tension, a joy to read.” —Ha Jin, National Book Award winning author of Waiting
“A heartfelt debut.” —Kirkus Reviews
