Keep the Change
ByPublisher Description
This brilliant story of one man’s struggle to change his life, from the acclaimed author of Ninety-two in the Shade and Cloudbursts, is “full of wry wit and graceful depictions of family relations, first love and the stark beauty of the Montana prairie” (Wall Street Journal).
Joe Starling, a man teetering on the edge of spectacular failures—as an artist, rancher, lover, and human being—is also a man of noble ambitions. His struggle to right himself is mesmerizing, hilarious, and profoundly moving.
"No American novelist provides greater pleasure—sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, page by page—than this Montana icon." —Chicago Sun-Times

“I didn’t really get this one at first, was lost on what was really going on? Only picked up on what was happening when Joe took off home to Montana in his girls car, that was kind of funny. Straight up stole Astrid’s car and took off. It was a mid tier book, nothing to get too upity about in my opinion. The ending was satisfying at least. Not particularly hilarious as advertised but Al around okay, I mean it’s not BAD so ok fits.”

“This was a very fast read for me (good) as I wasn't tempted to put the book down and try another. In fact, the story felt like a battle between fast and slow. The dialogue felt rapid, many of the characters seemed impatient, yet the setting of a Montana ranch town epitomized slow, taking it one moment at a time. Want to try more from this author”
