"As Good As Gone" by Larry Watson *****


  • Early Review edition for LibraryThing.com
  • US author
  • Originally published in 2016
  • Review:  As always, Larry Watson has given us as readers an intense story which leaves a lasting impression.  I read the entire book during a rainy vacation day.  Set in Gladstone, Montana in the early 1960s, three generations of men in one family face moral dilemmas and must figure out how to come to terms with their own set of life principals.  The reader is presented with a cowboy, a businessman, a boy, and a teenage girl as well.  I was fascinated at the way the character of the three generations remained true throughout, yet the cultural changes impacted the choices being made.  There are primal moments of passion, anger, and love.  Excellent novel.
