National Book Award Finalist: A "beautifully written, deeply felt" memoir about growing up in the American West (Los Angeles Times).

Ivan Doig grew up in the rugged wilderness of western Montana among the sheepherders and denizens of small-town saloons and valley ranches. What he deciphers from his past with piercing clarity is not only a raw sense of land and how it shapes us, but also of the ties to our mothers and fathers, to those who love us, and our inextricable connection to those who shaped our values in our search for intimacy, independence, love, and family.

A powerfully told story, This House of Sky is uniquely American -- yet also universal in its ability to awaken a longing for an explicable past.
