Okay, so point number uno, the title of this book. I mean REALLY?!?! This is so misleading it is ridiculous. I assume it was going to be boring, all I could think about were cows and fields of wheat. Larry Watson, you really should think of a better title. I mean really?!?!?
Number two, Uncle Frank, huh? My father's name is Frank. So is my brother's and I happen to think that is a nice name. Sadly, I no longer feel that way. So thank you Sir Watson for ruining that for me. Anyway, Frank is an unctuous doctor. Yo, Larry are you really going to have a doctor molest all of the little Indian girls? I mean really?!?! That is just disgusting.
Number three, the kicker for this post. The wife, the narrator's mother tells her husband about how his brother is a rapist. And his reaction. NOTHING! REALLY?!?!?! If I found out my brother or father or heck even mother was raping innocent, or guilty for that matter, people I would report it. Really? Though, the father is a sheriff and he isn't going to do anything, I mean really? Are you trying to protect your family, because it seems like you are just making a fool of yourself by protecting your sick excuse of a brother! I mean REALLY!?!?!
This has been REALLY?!?! with Rebecca.

I agree with Rebecca's post. When I first picked up the novel and I read the title, I thought it was going to be a very boring dragged on story. But once I started reading, I could not put it down; I kept wanting to read to find out what happens with Uncle Frank and Marie. I also agree that when Wesley, the narrator's father finds out his own brother is molesting young Indian girls, he goes into a complete state of denial. He can not imagine that his own brother, a veteran of war, could do such a horrible thing. At first Wesley seems like he is not going to do anything, but he doesn't want to accuse his own brother of something that he isn't 100 percent positive he did. Can't Wesley trust his wife on this one?
