This was a case where I saw the movie before reading the book. I read this in January and still think about it every now and then.

pickTwo brothers, Phil and George Burbank run a successful cattle ranch. Phil is book smart and mean. George is quiet and kind hearted. When a widow and her son come into their lives, it changes everything. I found this to be a compelling psychological drama. The ending sneaks up on you because you‘re so busy dreading other things that are happening in the story. Or at least, that was my experience 😂 Highly recommend!
pickThis is an incredibly well-written book that clearly portrays the Montana ranch setting and characters. It‘s also not an enjoyable story as it spends a lot of time in Phil‘s thoughts. I listened to it slowly over the past week, just a chapter or so at a time because of that. Throughout the book, the pride in not wearing gloves and brushing off any small injury resonated strongly with my own family farm experience.

I‘m reading this with building dread. I do not like Phil 🥺
I did get a flashback today when Montgomery Wards Department Store was called “Monkey“ Wards. I hadn‘t heard that in decades – of course the store has s been closed for decades as well!

pickWell. I loved this. Lures you in so you think you know where its going and then BAM it all changes in the blink of an eye. So much so I thought I'd missed a chapter. Really looking forward to watching the film now.
Perfect reading conditions at the hairdressers. So loving this book 💗
Next up . . . I want to watch the film but spotted the book was on offer in kindle, so here we are. Love a western 🤠
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved the movie, I had to read the book.. It was even better! I recommend both..

so-soI read this after it had been sitting on my kindle for years because I heard Jane Campion was making a movie of it, and the book was… fine, but I got the impression from reading it that it‘ll make an incredible film so I‘m glad I gave it a go. For a book that was all atmosphere and no plot, I‘d have liked a bit more atmosphere, but i think a good director can do an awful lot with it so I‘m excited for that!

My "nephew" is such a cutie. And every night he stays at my house he wakes me up with a hug. ?#nationalpuppyday
