I'm reading聽The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig. A 1900 one-room Montana school house may be the hinge point on which this delightful novel turns but the arrival of Haley鈥檚 Comet crowns this story of growing up, of brotherly fidelity, and the cruel realization of how the world works.聽 If you were lucky enough to take Latin years ago, you鈥檒l enjoy it even more.
