Description: In Thomas McGuane's Big Sky country, with its mesmeric powers, the ties of family make uncomfortable binds: A devoted son is horrified to discover his mother's antics before she slipped into dementia, and a father's outdoor skills are no match for an ominous change in the weather. Complications arise equally in the absence of blood ties when lifelong friends on a fishing trip finally confront their deep dislike for each other, or a gifted traveling cattle breeder succombs to the lure of a stranger's offer of easy money.
