Top 10 Books Set In Montana According To Good Reads
One of the most important parts of a good story is it's setting. Where the action takes place can shape the entire plot of a story. Oftentimes, with a setting so powerful and prolific, it can become a character in and of itself- the driving force of action against the protagonist. Montana is so vast and varied that a writer's imagination is the only limit to how far the story can go.
When setting a novel in Montana your choices are endless when it comes to the plot and genre. You've got mountain ranges, plains, college towns, industrial towns, small cities, or big cities to set the location. It could be a historical fiction story set back in the early days when Montana was just a territory. Perhaps it could be a crime novel set against current events. Maybe it can be an entire story arch, starting with a families harrowing migration out west, settling the land, establishing the most powerful ranch in the state, and fighting (literally and figuratively) for generations to keep said ranch in the families name against the current political climate facing the state. I don't know. It's just a thought.
