I am going to live a life like this when I am older. I will definitely be moving to Montana at some point in the future.

Not a solid 4 stars; more like 3.7.

After first reading this about 20 years ago, I came back to it just now. It is a collection of short stories about a group of eccentric characters in a small town--a setup that I am a sucker for. The stories revolve around a few descendants of the original settlers of the town with some small excerpts from the settler's diaries sprinkled in.

The stories are pleasant and agreeable enough, though I felt that they lacked depth. The author's prose is competent but not remarkable. He occasionally intrudes into his own stories with "Dear Reader" remarks, which I found a bit annoying--it pulled me out of the stories and reminded me that I was, indeed, just reading a book.

I'd categorize this one as a pleasant, light read (about 170 pages).

Freakin fantastic! This is my favorite book! The chapters do not connect until the end, but oh man, this book is freakin fantastic! Y'all should read it now! It catches the magic, the romance if you will, of a nice summer evening.
