Welcome to Litsy!

Let Him Go has been on my TBR for YEARS. I loved Watson‘s writing in Montana 1948, and his measured prose is definitely on show here too. Let Him Go is another classic Watson novel, deeply rooted in place, complex and flawed characters, moral and interpersonal dilemmas, and a healthy dose of trauma. It‘s exquisitely constructed, but relentlessly bleak. I‘m glad I finally read it.

Super Heavy and dark but the story was worth it.

Couldn't find my bookmark, found a straw wrapper. #IWillUseAnythingAsABookmark

My library hold came in just in time for me to read before the movie. Good fiction story. Don‘t mess with grandma! 4 hours read so 46 points #teamharkness #scarathlon2020 @StayCurious

This looks like a really good movie. Has anyone read it?

I can only offer a list of adjectives: brilliant, desolate, violent, searing, linguistically perfect.
1951 South Dakota is not my typical read but everything about this novel captured me. I will certainly read more of Watson.
