Explanation Supposing Books Let Him Go

"With you or without you," Margaret insists, and at these words George knows his only choice is to follow her.

It’s September 1951: years since George and Margaret Blackledge lost their son James when he was thrown from a horse; months since James’s widow Lorna took off and remarried that thug Donnie Weboy. Now Margaret is steadfast, resolved to find and retrieve her grandson Jimmy—the one person in this world keeping her son’s memory alive—while George, a retired sheriff, is none too eager to stir up trouble with Donnie Weboy. Unable to sway his wife from her mission, George takes to the road with Margaret by his side, traveling through the Dakota badlands to Bentrock, Montana, in unstoppable pursuit. When Margaret tries to convince Lorna to return home to North Dakota, bringing little Jimmy with her, the Blackledges find themselves mixed up with the entire Weboy clan, a fearsome family determined not to give the boy up without a fight.

With gutsy characters and suspense-filled prose, Bring Him Back speaks to the extraordinary measures we take for family and the overpowering instinct to protect those we love. From the award-winning author who gave us Montana 1948, Justice, and American Boy, Larry Watson is at his storytelling finest in this unforgettable return to the American West.

Criticize Out Of Books Let Him Go

I do not remember where I first heard of this book or why I added it to my list of books to be read, but whomever that messenger was all I can say is thank you. This book is breathtakingly brilliant. The author has picked up each word and placed it so precisely and perfectly that it reminds me of a typesetter setting type; nothing is said that need not be and everything that needs to be said is expertly conveyed. This book packs a wallop; it hits you in the heart and in the gut. Beautiful, smart

In 1951, George and Margaret lose their son in a horse accident. Their desire to raise their grandchild takes them on an adventure which changes their lives. The violence and the style of writing hampered me enjoying the book. The dialogue is written in the narrative, not in quotes using he/she said. Sometimes it was difficult to know who said what.

Excellent!!! Not sure two characters could be any better suited for each other. Im anxious to see Kevin Costner play the role of George in the movie. Can a love story be gritty and raw? Larry Watson seems to say hell yeah!

The simple plotting of Larry Watsons Let Him Go the quest of Margaret and George Blackridge to reclaim their young grandson, who lives with his mother and rotten-to-the-core stepfather belies the strong emotional impact of this exquisitely powerful book.The power sneaks up on the reader when it is least expected in a snatch of dialogue, a perceptive insight, a small detail that turns everything around. Larry Watson is a master of breathing life into his characters through ordinary

Four stars for the writing, two stars for the plot line. Of course I understand Margaret, grandmother to Jimmy, wanting to chase Jimmys mother, Lorna, across North Dakota and into Montana when Lorna takes off with a new guy. And a lazy, no-good guy at that. Hard to imagine a grandmother who could bear the idea of her precious grandson her only tie to her grown son who died too early disappearing into a questionable and perhaps unwholesome situation hundreds of miles away. This I get. Whats

Everything about this book captivated me. The writing style, the characters and the suspense had me fully invested for a full 5 hours! Its been a long time since I have finished a book in one sitting. Set in the West in the 1950s grandparents Margaret and George travel to Montana from North Dakota to retrieve their 4 year old grandson. After the death of their son, James, their daughter-in-law remarries into a dangerous family with a bad reputation. The journey to get little Jimmy is filled with

Not too shabby. Not too NOT shabby.
