The Bartender's Tale by Ivan Doig

4.0

the second half of this book (where it finally synced with what the blurb on the back said it was about) was what i really enjoyed, to me it seemed that the "set-up" getting to that point was overly long. the story centers around rusty harry, a 12 year old, who is reunited with (re-claimed by?)his bartender father who owns a bar in a Montana "dam town" and their new life together. plenty of plot twist, adventure and characters to keep my interest, the historical bits kind of bogged me down in places, however.
