The Bartender's Tale (Two Medicine Country)
- Used Book in Good Condition
A national bestseller, the story of â€œa boyâ€™s last days of youth and a history his father canâ€™t leave behindâ€ (The Daily Beast).

Tom Harry has a streak of frost in his black pompadour and a venerable bar called The Medicine Lodge, the chief watering hole and last refuge in the town of Gros Ventre, in northern Montana. Tom also has a son named Rusty, an â€œaccident between the sheetsâ€ whose mother deserted them both years ago. The pair make an odd kind of family, with the bar their true home, but they manage just fine.

Until the summer of 1960, that is, when Rusty turns twelve. Change arrives with gale force, in the person of Proxy, a taxi dancer Tom knew back when, and her beatnik daughter, Francine. Is Francine, as Proxy claims, the unsuspected legacy of her and Tomâ€™s past? Without a doubt she is an unsettling gust of the future, upending every certainty in Rustyâ€™s life and generating a mist of passion and pretense that seems to obscure everyoneâ€™s vision but his own. The Bartenderâ€™s Tale wonderfully captures how the world becomes bigger and the past becomes more complex in the last moments of childhood.
