About this product
Product Information
Edie--beautiful, smart, self-assured--always worked hard. She worked as a teller at a bank, she worked to save her first marriage, and later, she worked to raise her daughter even as her second marriage came apart. Really, Edie just wanted a good life, but everywhere she turned, her beauty defined her. Two brothers fought over her. Her second husband became unreasonably possessive and jealous. Her daughter resented her. And now even as a grandmother, Edie finds herself harassed by a younger man. It's been a lifetime of proving that she is allowed to exist in her own sphere outside of their gaze. The Lives of Edie Pritchard tells the story of one woman trying to carve out her own space even as multiple men try to categorize and own her. This is a triumphant, engaging, and perceptive commercial novel, with complex characters who refuse to yield to easy interpretations. By following one woman and her descendants, Larry expertly takes us through the changing (yet also unchanging) perceptions of women through the decades.

Reviews
"Watson is insightful in his depiction of Edie and those who seek to control her, and his descriptions of small-town Montana life, where guns are frequently a menacing presence, reflect how the potential for violence is ever present beneath the surface of things. The novel crackles with tension, especially the second and third acts; Watson is a born storyteller, and it shows on every understated page. But Edie's story also rings with a hardscrabble poetry . . . A riveting and tense examination of identity, violence, and female anger." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review, A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Books of 2020 Best 2020 Fiction To Get Your Book Club Talking A Booklist Editor's Choice: Adult Books, 2020 "Set in Montana, and evoking Annie Proulx, The Lives of Edie Pritchard is a testament by one of our greatest 'regional' novelists to the power of stories." -- The Millions "Larry Watson is a riveting storyteller . . . this is a fast and compelling read, sparse and dusty as the open plain. Watson's journey is a sensory one, taking us down rippling highways and across weedy fields into basement rec rooms and out into shadowy sunsets. Though some scenes are gritty, the novel's dialogue and imagery awaken our senses and prove once again that when depicting small-town life in the West, Larry Watson is crushing it." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Like Watson's earlier novel Orchard , The Lives of Edie Pritchard is a story about a woman whom men try to possess, but rarely make an effort to understand or even listen to . . . Watson's unfussy style makes room for nuggets of bitter humor, like a divorced and remarried woman telling a newcomer, "Mister, everyone in this room is an expert on what a marriage isn't! '" -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Set mostly in eastern Montana, Watson's vibrant character study reads like a trio of scintillating novellas, each set 20 years apart . . . Like in the best works of Richard Ford and Elizabeth Strout, Watson shows off a keen eye for regional details, a pitch-perfect ear for dialogue, and an affinity for sharp characterization. This triptych is richly rewarding." -- Publishers Weekly "Watson remains incapable of creating characters who aren't fully formed individuals, as courageous as they are vulnerable, and here he again displays his rare ability to craft strong women and to describe their everyday lives with rare power." -- Booklist , starred review "Watson is insightful in his depiction of Edie and those who seek to control her, and his descriptions of small-town Montana life, where guns are frequently a menacing presence, reflect how the potential for violence is ever present beneath the surface of things. The novel crackles with tension, especially the second and third acts; Watson is a born storyteller, and it shows on every understated page. But Edie's story also rings with a hardscrabble poetry . . . A riveting and tense examination of identity, violence, and female anger." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review
