by Larry Watson Thursday, April 8th, 2010 at 10AM

Larry Watson’s novel Montana 1948 will be the selection for a book discussion, which will be moderated by Gloria Weinrich, on Thursday, April 8th at 10 AM. This taut, memorable novel about a middle-class Montana family torn apart by scandal, murder and suicide during the summer of 1948 was awarded the Milkweed National Fiction Prize. In crisp, restrained prose, Watson portrays the moral dilemma of a family torn between justice and loyalty.

The book discussion moderated by Mrs. Weinrich will take place in the Library’s small meeting room on the Lower Level and is limited to 20 participants. No registration is necessary. Copies of the book are available at the reference desk in the Library beginning on March 8th. This event is sponsored by The Friends of The Garden City Public Library.
