The author of Montana 1948 explores the early years of a powerful Western family in these âbeautifully writtenâ linked stories (USA Today). Larry Watsonâs bestselling novel Montana 1948 was acclaimed as a âwork of art,â a prize-winning evocation of a time, a place, and a family (San Francisco Chronicle). Justice is the stunning prequel that illuminates the Hayden clanâs early years, and the circumstances that led to the events of Montana 1948. With the precision of a master storyteller, Watson moves seamlessly through the decades and among the strong and hard-bitten characters that make up the Hayden family, and in the process opens an evocative window on the very heart of the American West. âAn engrossing story of love, familial relationships, and secrets . . . re-creates the vivid beauty of Big Sky country.â âBooklist âFilled with rugged prose sometimes as biting as a northern plains wind.â âThe Washington Post âSurprises and scenes of dramatic power punctuate the narrative . . . Throughout, Watson writes with ruthless honesty about his charactersâ stunted dreams, unpredictable emotions and outbursts of senseless violence, showing once again that he understands not only the West but the untamed hearts that have roamed it.â âPublishers Weekly (starred review)
