  • A discussion with Alix Christie, author of The Shining Mountains
    7:00 PM-8:00 PM
    June 22, 2023
    511 W Mendenhall St. Bozeman, MT 59715

    Join us in welcoming Alix Christie author of ‘The Shining Mountains’ to Isle of Books, Thursday, June 22nd at 7:00 pm. Christie’s rich and beautiful historic novel centers on the life of a young Scotsman, Angus Macdonald, who’s contracted to British masters to trade for fur. Through her work, Christie touches on the complexity developing in mid 1800s Rocky Mountain West, a land soon to be fractured by competing claims: between British fur traders, American settlers, and the Indigenous populations who have lived for millennia.

    Alix Christie grew up in California, Montana, and British Columbia and is a prize-winning journalist and author of novels, reportage, and short stories. Christie will be discussing accuracy in historical fiction, family, and the necessity of storytelling.
